Massive amount of susceptibility artifact anteriorly.
The visualized brain is normal in appearance.
Case Discussion
This demonstrates the profound amount of artifact on MRI from dental metalwork (in this case braces in an adolescent).
Observe how this is the most severe on the SWI, DWI and ADC sequences with the least on the T2 axial images on which the whole brain is adequately shown.
