Influence of dental metallic materials on MR imaging / 浙江大学学报·医学版

ABSTRACT

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique is one of the most commonly used imaging diagnostic techniques for pate diseases at present.Metal and alloy are commonly used in dental practice. The artifacts on MRI caused by metal and alloy may result in attenuation of signal intensity, image distortion and signal loss, which severely influences imaging quality. So these materials confine the application of MRI on pate. In this paper, the influence of dental metallic materials on MRI is discussed. It expounds the generation and principals of MR artifacts, the influence of artifacts of metal dental prosthetic restoration, the effects of choosing different MR sequences and imaging weight on MRI, as well as how to prevent and diminish artifacts, to provide reference for clinical practice.
