A template space for hip arthroplasty is presented with a proof of concept application quantifying the field-strength-related artifact associated with varying implant compositions.
Spatial distribution of increased 3T artifact compared to 1.5T at the central template slice. All implants are shown in the top left, with metal-on-poly, ceramic, and metal-on-metal continuing in a clockwise direction. Metal-on-metal and ceramic implants represent the extrema of field-dependent differences in artifact.
Evenly separated coronal slices of the left hip arthroplasty acetabular region template space.
