Detection of metallic cobalt and chromium liver deposition following failed hip replacement using T2* and R2 magnetic resonance

BACKGROUND: Failed hip prostheses can cause elevated circulating cobalt and chromium levels, with rare reports of fatal systemic organ deposition, including cobalt cardiomyopathy. Although blood cobalt and chromium levels are easily measured, organ deposition is difficult to detect without invasive...
