Background Carbon-reinforced PEEK (C-FRP) implants are non-magnetic and have increasingly been used for the fixation of spinal instabilities. Purpose To compare the effect of different metal artifact reduction (MAR) techniques in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on titanium and C-FRP spinal implants. Material and Methods Rod-pedicle screw constructs were mounted on ovine cadaver spine specimens and instrumented with either eight titanium pedicle screws or pedicle screws made of C-FRP and marked with an ultrathin titanium shell. MR scans were performed of each configuration on a 3-T scanner. MR sequences included transaxial conventional T1-weighted turbo spin echo (TSE) sequences, T2-weighted TSE, and short-tau inversion recovery (STIR) sequences and two different MAR-techniques: high-bandwidth (HB) and view-angle-tilting (VAT) with slice encoding for metal artifact correction (SEMAC). Metal artifact degree was assessed by qualitative and quantitative measures. Results There was a much stronger effect on artifact reduction with using C-FRP implants compared to using specific MRI MAR-techniques (screw shank: P < 0.001; screw tulip: P < 0.001; rod: P < 0.001). VAT-SEMAC sequences were able to reduce screw-related signal loss artifacts in constructs with titanium screws to a certain degree. Constructs with C-FRP screws showed less artifact-related implant diameter amplification when compared to constructs with titanium screws ( P < 0.001). Conclusion Constructs with C-FRP screws are associated with significantly less artifacts compared to constructs with titanium screws including dedicated MAR techniques. Artifact-reducing sequences are able to reduce implant-related artifacts. This effect is stronger in constructs with titanium screws than in constructs with C-FRP screws.
