Safety Considerations for Dental Implants in MRI: Essential Information Prior to Your Imaging Appointment in Kenya
Dental implants are generally safe for MRI scans because they are made of non-ferromagnetic materials like titanium or zirconia, which do not interact with the magnetic field. While safe, implants (along with braces or fillings) may cause minor image distortion or artifacts, particularly during head or neck scans. Patients should inform the technologist about implants beforehand.
