Hello all. I am in the dental field and it was my understanding that dental work is safe in MRIs. Obviously if it something removable it should be removed prior. I recently had a patient who said he can’t have an MRI because of the metal post in his tooth and I’m wondering where he got that info. Anyway a quick google search and it’s as clear as mud. Some source say it’s ok and some said there are risks. The material use could be stainless steel or it could be cobalt-chromium or nickel-chromium. What do you all in the radiology field say?
