MAVRIC-SL enabled to improve the image quality by decreasing susceptibility artifacts and the assessment of periprosthetic joint infection after joint arthroplasty. Joint effusion, soft-tissue fluid collection, and soft-tissue edema were suggestive of periprosthetic joint infection. Soft-tissue fluid collection and soft-tissue edema were indicative of therapeutic surgical intervention for periprosthetic joint infection. Using MAVRIC-SL, MRI can become a useful tool to suggest periprosthetic joint infection in arthroplasty patients and to determine the management of periprosthetic joint infection.
