MR imaging has become an important diagnostic tool in the evaluation of a vast number of
pathologies and is of foremost importance in the evaluation of spine, joints, and soft tissue …

A large number of artifacts occur in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the
musculoskeletal system. These artifacts may potentially affect the quality of MR images, and …

Postoperative joint MR imaging in the presence of metallic orthopedic implants is safe and
now commonplace. Demand is expected to steadily increase based on the high numbers of …

Metallic artifact at orthopedic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging continues to be an
important problem, particularly in the realm of total joint arthroplasty. Complications often …

MRI has proved efficacious in the evaluation of native joints as a result of its multiplanar
capabilities and superior soft tissue contrast. The application of MRI to joint arthroplasty …

At magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and multidetector computed tomography (CT), artifacts
arising from metallic orthopedic hardware are an obstacle to obtaining optimal images …

This article demonstrates and compares imaging of orthopaedic hardware (fixation plates,
screws, Kischner wire and prostheses) using gradient-echo, spin-echo and fast spin-echo …

An increasing number of joint replacements are being performed annually. Complications of
joint arthroplasty are diverse and may involve the hardware as well as osseous and soft …

When a nucleus contains either unpaired protons, neutrons, or both, it has angular
momentum. This property provides the basis for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) …

Accurate postoperative assessment of orthopedic procedures often requires high-resolution
cross-sectional imaging in multiple planes. Artifacts from metal hardware result in reduction …
