Assessment of proximal tibial fractures with 3D FRACTURE (fast field echo resembling a CT using restricted echo-spacing) MRI—intra-individual comparison with CT
Question CT-like MRI is increasingly being evaluated for its advantages in bone imaging but is not yet established in routine practice. Findings The 3D FRACTURE (fast field echo resembling a CT using restricted echo-spacing) MRI sequence is feasible at 3 T, allowing for diagnosis and classification of proximal tibial fractures. Clinical relevance FRACTURE-MRI might be a helpful alternative to computed tomography in an acute trauma setting by reducing costs and radiation exposure in patients requiring a preoperative MRI anyway.
