The substantial reduction of off-resonance artifacts near metal by multi-spectral imaging sequences facilitates the postoperative use of MRI to evaluate total hip arthroplasty patients, but its long scan time can be difficult for patients to tolerate. A novel MAVRIC-SL method using robust principal component analysis (RPCA) recently showed 2.6-fold reduced scan time with comparable artifact suppression. In this study we compare a conventional MAVRIC-SL method with the RPCA-accelerated MAVRIC-SL method in 36 total hip arthroplasty cases. Our data demonstrate nearly equivalent clinical sensitivity of the RPCA MAVRIC-SL method to the conventional method with a mild loss of spatial resolution.
