Conventional fat-saturated (a) and STIR (b) proton-density weighted images of the knee of a patient with a titanium screw present. Fat-saturation leads to imperfect fat suppression near the metal, but maintains SNR. STIR provides uniform fat suppression, but decreases SNR, and still shows some pile-up artifacts around the metal.
