Diagnostic Value of Advanced Metal Artifact Reduction Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Periprosthetic Joint Infection

Conclusions The findings suggesting PJI were capsular thickening, soft-tissue fluid collection, soft-tissue edema, pericapsular edema, and joint effusion. The combinations of them highly suggested PJI. Regarding the BME pattern, the combination with soft-tissue edema raised the possibility of PJI. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging with multiacquisition variable–resonance image combination selective for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI).
