Magnetic resonance image distortions due to artificial macroscopic objects:an example: correction of image distortion caused by an artificial hip prosthesis

Abstract Eddy currents and susceptibility differences are the most important sources that interfere with the quality of MR images in the presence of an artificial macroscopic object in the volume to be imaged. In this study, both of these factors have been examined. The findings show that the...
