Intrinsic Antimicrobial Properties of a Novel Silorane‐Based Material for Orthopedic Applications
ABSTRACT One of many drawbacks of PMMA bone cement used to secure orthopedic implants is that its surface is highly susceptible to bacterial attachment and biofilm formation. In an effort to find alternative materials, we focused on silorane‐based polymers previously developed for use in dental composites.

MRI of Total Hip Arthroplasty: Successful Ripple Artifact Reduction Using Wavelet Domain Filtering
ABSTRACT Background Slice encoding for metal artifact correction (SEMAC) is used in MRI for total hip arthroplasties for metal artifact reduction. However, ripple artifacts often arise near the implant, impairing diagnosis in affected regions. Hypothesis Applying a wavelet domain filter (WD‐Filter) might reduce ripple artifacts and improve image ...
