Background: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a crucial diagnostic imaging tool as it has a high contrast resolution for soft tissues. In MRI, the artifact is an unwanted appearance in the image which degrades the image quality and hence hampers the accurate diagnosis of disease. The presence of metallic compounds in several personal care products (PCPs) causes artifacts in MR images. Objectives: This study aimed to find the relationship between hair and body (healthcare) products and MRI artifacts. Methods: A total of 22 PCPs (hairs, body, and a few makeup products) were tested utilizing a 1.5 T MRI scanner. The products were filled in a small plastic bag taped to the performance phantom. The phantom was placed in a brain RF coil and scanned using T1-weighted and T2-weighted images. Results: A total of 16 out of 22 PCPs showed artifacts in the clinical and quantitative analysis, with effects ranging from mild to severe artifacts. Conclusion: Based on the quantitative and clinical analysis of personal care products, it can be reported that some hair and body products, as well as cosmetics, can generate visual artifacts. If the artifact is located in the same area of interest as the image, it may degrade the image quality and lead to a medical misdiagnosis.
