Artifacts in magnetic resonance imaging of the spine after surgery with or without implant

Abstract: Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is often disturbed after spine surgical procedures with or without an implant. Artifacts are induced by ferromagnetic or nonferromagnetic implants and devices and by small metallic particles left by surgical instruments. All metallic artifacts can affect the quality and usefulness of postoperative spine MR examinations. The physical effects caused by the introduction of metal or other conductive materials into a magnetic field and their consequences are presented. The applicatio… Show more

“…2,3,10,18,19,23,25 Metallic implants, however, complicate the interpretation of MR images because they distort the local magnetic field, degrading the image quality. 14,22 Cobalt alloys are a common metallic biomaterial. Unfortunately, they produce a susceptibility artifact on MR imaging.…”

“…Problematisch bleibt aber der Einsatz der MRT zur Bildkorrelation mit der CT bei artefaktbedingten Verzerrungen. Selbst relativ metallartefaktinsensitive SE-und STIR-Sequenzen der MRT [16,22,23] und Nieder-Tesla-Geräte weisen relevante geometrische Verzerrungen auf [1,12,21,25]. Wie in diesem Fall exemplarisch dargelegt, erweist sich die vielerorts verfügbare CT-Myelographie gerade in diesen Situationen als eine zusätzliche diagnostische Hilfe für eine präzise Bestrahlungsplanung.…”

“…Metallartefakte ergeben darauf folgend häufig eine äußerst schwierige diagnostische und therapeutische Situation [1,12,21,25]. Bedingt durch Artefakte bei der konventionellen CT und Verzerrungen bei der MRT ist eine präzise Abgrenzung zu Myelon und Cauda equina als Basis einer mög-lichen Bestrahlungsplanung oftmals kaum oder gar nicht möglich [4,26].…”
