Comparisons of slice-encoding metal artifact correction and view-angle tilting magnetic resonance imaging and traditional digital radiography in evaluating chronic hip pain after total hip arthroplasty

The main objective of this research was to show that MR sequences from the SEMAC-VAT TSE prototype provide a significant advantage at detecting lesions in patients after THA because of the excellent soft-tissue resolution of the MR imaging. SEMAC-VAT MR can evaluate chronic hip pain after THA and determine the cause, which can help the clinician decide on whether a surgical revision is needed.
