Musculoskeletal (MSK) imaging of patients with hip implants can be challenging due to metal artefacts. We have quantitatively assessed a number of metal artefact reduction sequences (MARS) on commonly implanted hip implants. The MARS methods used were: high receiver bandwidth, high transmit bandwidth, view angle titling (VAT) and slice encoded metal artefact correction (SEMAC). Signal pile-up and voids were most reduced across implants when SEMAC was employed and also artefacts at the bone metal interface were reduced.
