MRI Technology Assists in Diagnosis of Adverse Local Tissue Reactions in Biomedical Implants
New medical procedures can offer patients with metal-on-metal implants an effective new tool to diagnose certain forms of joint damage faster than ever before. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used in detecting and diagnosing inflammation in the joint surrounding metal-on-metal implants. A recent study published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery shows that MRI procedures can diagnose joint inflammation. More importantly, MRI scanning technology can be before the patient begins to suffer the pain and debilitation that...
