Popis: Conventional quantitative diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is sensitive to changes in tissue microstructure, but its application to evaluating patients with orthopaedic hardware has generally been limited due to metallic susceptibility artifacts. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and TCoronal morphologic MRIs from THA patients underwent evaluation of the synovium and were assigned a synovial classification of 'normal', or 'grouped abnormal' (consisting of sub-groups 'infection', 'polymeric', 'metallosis', 'adverse local tissue reaction' [ALTR], or 'non-specific') and type of synovial reaction present (fluid-like, solid-like, or mixed). Regions of interest (ROIs) were placed in synovial reactions for measurement of ADC and TDifferences of ADC and T2D-MSI PROPELLER DWI and MAVRIC-T
