Improved MRI imaging for patients with hip implants

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of a modified 3T MRI technique compared to a standard MRI in patients with total hip arthroplasty. It involves imaging twenty participants to assess the size of artifact-degraded regions, visibility of normal structures, and the detection rate of abnormalities. The study aims to determine if the modified MRI can reduce metal-related artifacts that obscure important anatomical details. Participants will undergo both imaging methods to allow for direct comparison of results.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients aged ≥ 18 with unilateral symptomatic (e.g. pain) total hip arthroplasty
* Referred for MRI examination at the discretion of the treating physician
* Provision of signed and dated informed consent form
* No metal hardware in the body including contralateral hip arthroplasty
* No contraindication to MRI: defined as claustrophobia or presence of other MRI-incompatible devices

Exclusion Criteria:

* History of revision hip arthroplasty
* Pregnancy (self-reported, or self-suspected)
* Hip arthroplasty surgery within one year of enrollment
