Figure 2

Interactions of an MRI scanner and a small metal foreign body. The size of the foreign body is only visible on the CT scan (bone window) on the left side. In comparison the resulting artefact on axial T1. The susceptibility of this small piece of metal disturbs the homogeneity of the B₀ field so much that the associated artifact makes up about 50% of the shown brain.
