Evaluation of intraorbital prosthetic pigmentation using 0.3 and 1.5Tesla magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography

Abstract

The ferrous substances in the brown intraorbital prosthetic resulted in a significant magnetic susceptibility artifact when performing MRI. Artifact reduction techniques did not significantly decrease artifact surface area. The use of ferrous brown-pigmented prosthetics and their potential to affect future MR imaging studies should be adequately discussed with pet owners.
