MR-imaging of the TMJ: artefacts caused by dental alloys.

The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of dental alloys and their components on magnetic resonance imaging of the temporomandibular joint. A plaster and a water- filled acrylic resin phantom - representing the disc and the condyle of the TMJ - were used. Cylindrical crow-type samples of 13 alloys and 14 pure substances were investigated. All alloys were examined with regard to their magnetic susceptibility, using a vibrating sample magnetometer. Metallic artefacts appeared on spin-echo technique as distortions, and on gradient-echo technique signal loss could be observed. Precious alloys were shown to be diamagnetic. The non precious alloys we investigated were paramagnetic. Paramagnetic alloys with a magnetic molar-susceptibility Cmol > 2000 x10(-6) cm3/mol can produce clinically relevant artefacts.
