Extremity MRI featured less acoustic noise than standard MRI, but examination duration was longer on extremity MRI. Patient satisfaction was high for both scanners. For foot examinations, image quality on extremity MRI was equivalent to standard MRI. Image quality for knee examinations was better on standard MRI compared with extremity MRI, but overall it was good on both systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
