Advanced WARP
Advanced WARP1,2 comprises the artifact reduction techniques offered by WARP in addition to the slice phase encoding method SEMAC. This adds the benefit of correcting through-plane distortions and allows for more accurate diagnosis of tissue surrounding orthopedic implants.
Advanced WARP especially aids the detection of post-operative clinical conditions in the case of total joint replacements and helps to expand your MRI services in the field of orthopedic imaging.
Features & Benefits
Functionality
Advanced WARP1,3 includes the following artifact reduction techniques:
- Slice Encoding for Metal Artifact Correction (SEMAC) technique for full distortion correction, in- and through-plane
- High-bandwidth RF pulses
- High readout gradient amplitude
- High-bandwidth IR-preparation for robust fat suppression (high-bandwidth STIR)
- View Angle Tilting (VAT) technique for in-plane distortion correction
Benefits
- Efficient correction of bulk metal artifacts4
- Efficient workflow: Ready-to-use optimized protocols. Integrated Dot workflow with single-click changes to a scan strategy optimized for implant patients
- Robust image quality and fewer repeated scans, ensuring high patient throughput
- Potential to diagnose clinical conditions such as prosthesis loosening, infections, inflammations, and implant failure
