Musculoskeletal Imaging |
1 From the Dept of Medical Imaging, Mount Sinai Hospital and the University Health Network, University of Toronto, 600 University Ave, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5G 1X5 (L.M.W., J.K.K., M.M., N.M.); Dept of Orthopedic Surgery, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto (C.R.H., A.E.G.); and Dept of Radiology, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, Pa (M.E.S., W.B.M.). From the 1998 RSNA scientific assembly. Received Feb 12, 1999; revision requested Mar 30; final revision received Jul 28; accepted Aug 30. Supported in part by RSNA Research and Education Foundation and a grant from Berlex, Canada. Address reprint requests to L.M.W. (e-mail: lwhite@mtsinai.on.ca).
PURPOSE: To investigate the use of standard magnetic resonance (MR) imaging sequences with simple parameter modifications for the detection and characterization of total hip arthroplasty (THA) complications.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: An initial phantom study was performed with cobalt-chrome and titanium prostheses to establish the imaging parameters for a subsequent clinical study. In the clinical study, coronal and transverse MR imaging of 14 THA prostheses was performed before and after intravenous contrast material administration in 12 patients who were being considered for revision arthroplasty. The images were reviewed for evidence of juxtaarticular or periprosthetic abnormalities, patterns of contrast enhancement, and quality of periprosthetic tissue depiction.
RESULTS: Phantom study results showed improved periprosthetic tissue depiction with use of thin sections, increased frequency-encoding gradient strength, and fast spin-echo sequences. The clinical study results demonstrated periprosthetic abnormalities in 11 cases: mechanical loosening in two cases (including one case with an associated periprosthetic fracture); granulomatosis, eight; and infection, one. In 100% of cases, tissue depiction around the femoral component was judged to be of "diagnostic quality." Tissue depiction around the acetabular component was of diagnostic quality in five (36%) cases. In all seven surgically confirmed cases, a correct diagnosis was made preoperatively with MR imaging.
CONCLUSION: By using simple modifications to standard MR imaging sequences, diagnostic-quality MR imaging of THA complications can be performed, particularly around the femoral prosthetic stem.
