"Musculoskeletal examinations are generally done on both 1.5 and 3 tesla and this is also the case for the pelvis. They profit from the improved spatial and contrast resolution of 3 tesla. Postoperative examinations in patients with metallic implants, however, should be done on 1.5 tesla with metal artifact reduction sequence."
