Clinical Feasibility of Multi-Acquisition Variable-Resonance Image Combination-Based T2 Mapping near Hip Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT: Background: Hip arthroplasty is increasingly prevalent, and early detection of complications can improve outcomes. Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) methods using multi-acquisition variable-resonance image combination (MAVRIC) may allow for the assessment of soft tissues in close proximity to hip arthroplasty devices. Question/Purposes: We sought to determine the clinical feasibility of MAVRIC-based T2 mapping as a qMRI approach for assessing synovial reactions in patients with a hip arthroplasty device. We hypothesized that there would be differences in T2 metrics by synovial type, clinical impression, and clinical findings related to synovitis. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 141 subjects with 171 hip arthroplasties with greater than 1 y
