Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a STIR sequence with an optimized inversion pulse that entails use of increased receiver bandwidth for metal artifact reduction. Image distortion, artifacts, insufficient fat suppression, and detection of relevant findings improved with the STIR optimized inversion pulse, which was associated with significant artifact reduction.
