Artefacts in multimodal imaging of titanium, zirconium and binary titanium–zirconium alloy dental implants: an<i>in vitro</i>study

Abstract

MRI allows for an excellent image contrast and limited artefacts in patients with zirconium implants. CT and CBCT examinations are less affected by artefacts from titanium and titanium-zirconium alloy implants compared with MRI. The knowledge about differences of artefacts through different implant materials and image modalities might help support clinical decisions for the choice of implant material or imaging device in the clinical setting.
