Study Summary

This trial will compare how well two types of MRI work in reducing metal-related artifacts in patients with hip arthroplasty implants.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with hip arthritis who have had a hip replacement on one side and are experiencing symptoms like pain. They must be able to undergo MRI scans, meaning no severe claustrophobia or other metal implants, and not pregnant. Those with recent hip surgery or needing contrast material for MRI can't participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests an optimized MRI technique designed to reduce image distortion caused by metal from hip replacements. Participants will receive two MRIs: one using standard settings and another with the modified approach that optimizes radiofrequency pulse polarization.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves only MRI scanning, there are typically no direct side effects from the procedure itself aside from discomfort due to lying still in a confined space which might trigger claustrophobia in susceptible individuals.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: MRI groupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects enrolled in this study will undergo both standard and new MRI techniques. The standard MRI is needed for your routine care and as ordered by the referring doctor. The new MRI is performed for research purposes. Participants will be imaged with both methods and the results will be compared.
