Unified Shimming and RF coil (UNIC) Reduces Susceptibility Artifacts in Prostate DWI in Subjects with Metallic Hip Prosthesis at 3T
Motivation: Metallic implants in the body may cause severe image artifacts. Goal(s): To improve prostate DWI imaging in patients with metallic hip replacement using a novel B0 local shimming system. Approach: Unified Shimming and RF coil (UNIC) arrays were used to improve local B0 shimming. Improved DWI image quality was assessed at 3T MRI on subjects with hip prostheses. Results: UNIC arrays significantly improved B0 homogeneity and reduced DWI distortions in prostate, resulting in improved Dice and Jaccard coefficients. Impact: UNIC coil arrays can enable 3T prostate DWI MRI for patients with metallic hip implants and provide the necessary care for the fast-growing population.
