| Popis: | 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 year post-implantation. We enrolled subjects who had had a primary total hip arthroplasty or hip resurfacing arthroplasty between May 2019 and March 2020, excluding those with a revision hip arthroplasty and those with standard safety contraindications for receiving an MRI. Institutional standard 2D fast spin echo (FSE), short-tau inversion recovery (STIR), and susceptibility-reduced MAVRIC morphological MR images were acquired for each hip and followed by a dual-echo acquisition MAVRIC T2 mapping sequence. Results: While 131 subjects (81%) were classified as having a “normal” synovial reaction, significantly longer T2 values were found for fluid synovial reactions compared with mixed reactions. In addition, subjects with synovial dehiscence and decompression present had T2 prolongation. Larger synovial volumes were found in subjects with low-signal intensity deposits. Conclusions: MAVRIC-based T2 mapping is clinically feasible and there are significant quantitative differences based on type of synovial reaction. Patients undergoing hip arthroscopy revision surgery will warrant comparison of T2 values with direct histologic assessment of a tissue sample obtained intraoperatively. The approach used in this study may be used for a quantitative evaluation and monitoring of soft tissues around metal implants. |
