Heating of Hip Arthroplasty Implants During Metal Artifact Reduction MRI at 1.5- and 3.0-T Field Strengths

Objectives: The aim of this study was to quantify the spatial temperature rises that occur during 1.5- and 3.0-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of different types of hip arthroplasty implants using different metal artifact reduction techniques.  View/Download
