In MRI examination, when irradiating the human body with RF Pulse to acquire images, the portion of the irradiated RF Pulse energy is absorded into the human body, and this will affect the temperature of the human body. If a metal is inserted into the human body even if the same RF Pulse energy is applied, the SAR value increases and the body temperature changes due to the increase in the electromagnetic wave conductivity of the metal. So we measure and compared with the change in the SAR and temperature in the implant material of the dental implant in Brain MRI examinations. Experiments were performed on a human head model using a 64MHz and 128 MHz RF Pulse frequency generated by a 3.0 Tesla MRI apparatus. And then changed material of dental implants to Titanium and Al₂O₃. Using the XFDTD program, the changes in SAR and body temperature around the head were examined. When with Titanium the SAR value and temperature of Brain increased, but with Al₂O₃ showed lower SAR and temperature as compared with Titanium. The dental implants were low in SAR and temperature of the head in Al₂O₃, which are electrical insulators with low electrical conductivity, compared to Titanium, which is an electrical conductor. It is necessary to study the biologic effect of patient with brain MRI when titanium dental implant material is inserted in the future. Because the maximum value of SAR is much higher than the limit when dental implant material is Titanium. In addition, it is necessary to use an implant of Al₂O₃ material to reduce the SAR value and temperature of the Brain in Brain MRI examination.
