Presentation

Terrace Hall

Synopsis: This presentation is a theoretical literature review about materials used in orthopedic implants, artifacts caused by those materials and methods on how to reduce artifacts caused by orthopedic implants in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It is impossible to entirely avoid artefacts, but it is possible to reduce them in order to improve the dignostic quality of the MRI exam.

This agenda item is presented in the following session: S3-4 MRI for Radiographers
