Magnetic resonance imaging of the orbits, craniofacial skeleton, and temporomandibular joint

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the orbits, craniofacial skeleton, and temporomandibular joint is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses magnets and radiofrequency waves to create detailed images of the orbits or craniofacial skeleton, as well as structure and function of the temporomandibular joint . In some cases, intravenous contrast may be required.

CONTRAINDICATIONS 

Absolute contraindications for magnetic resonance imaging include:

 *Pacemakers and heart valves not specifically designed for use in magnetic resonance imaging.
* Cardioversion defibrillators.
* Neurostimulators.
* Cochlear implants.
* Internal irrigation pumps.

Currently, there are pacemakers, brain clips, and heart valves that are magnetic, and they must be properly evaluated before exposure to magnets.

Most implants and orthopedic prostheses do not have ferromagnetic properties and are compatible with magnetic resonance imaging.
