MAVRIC-based DWI shows promise as a biomarker for differentiation of synovial reactions in total hip arthroplasty. Our results display an increased apparent diffusion coefficient for patients with abnormal and fluid/mixed type synovial reactions.

and (C) apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) images from a 67 y.o. female
subject with a synovial reaction classified as ‘metallosis’ synovial
impression. Arrows point to regions of interest selected for ADC and T2
mapping analysis.
