Can magnetisation transfer magnetic resonance imaging help for the follow-up of synthetic hernia composite meshes fate? A pilot study

ConclusionsMagnetization transfer imaging allows to detect mesh integration and, associated with pneumoperitoneum, was able to probe the effective minimizing effect of the synthetic polymeric barrier on visceral attachments. However, magnetization transfer imaging could not unambiguously allow the visualization of the mesh through the polymeric barrier.
