Assessment of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) in 3T MRI in the presence of zirconium, titanium, and titanium-zirconium alloy implants

ConclusionsCNR and SNR at 3 T MRI are dependent on implant type and imaging sequence. Titanium (grades 4 and 5) and titanium-zirconium implants and the T2WI sequence produced higher SNR and CNR values.
