MR safety and compatibility of a noninvasively expandable total-joint endoprosthesis
چکیده انگلیسی
A noninvasively expandable total-joint endoprosthesis is now available for pediatric patients; the prosthesis can be lengthened by external application of a magnetic field. We investigated the risks of unintentional heating or lengthening of the prosthesis during MR imaging and evaluated the effect of the device on the diagnostic efficacy of MR imaging of surrounding tissues. We performed MR imaging at 1.5 T by using standard pulse sequences and pulse sequences with high-gradient and high-radiofrequency duty cycle. MR imaging caused no measurable change in prosthesis length, and the temperature of the prosthesis increased by less than 1°C during repeated 14-min exposures. Despite significant signal loss and image distortion around the prosthetic joint, clinically useful images were obtained as close as 12 cm from the ends of the prosthetic stems, measured toward the body of the device. Thus, the prosthesis can be safely exposed to MR imaging pulse sequences at 1.5 T, and the visualization of some tissue surrounding the device is clinically useful.
