Abstract
The latest standard plates and screws used in orthopedic surgery do not pose an additional hazard or risk to patients undergoing MR imaging at 1.5-T or less. Though artifacts caused by them cannot be ignored because of their relatively large size, it is possible to be minimized by choosing appropriate pulse sequences and optimizing scanning parameters, such as FSE and STIR sequence with large bandwidth, small FOV and appropriate echo train length.
