HIP JOINT MRI

( without  contrast )

Technique : coronal STIR  , coronal T2 , Axial T1 , axial T2 .

REPORT:

The femoral heads and acetabula are normal shape , signal intensity and the femoral heads are well covered by the acetabular margins .

The joint spaces are of normal width without fluid collection  .

The articular surfaces are smooth and congruent and show normal  cortical thickness  .

Each femoral shaft has normal margins and contains a normal bone marrow signal .

The imaged muscles and the lesser pelvis show no abnormalities .

– Heterogeneous signal change (high T2/STIR , low T1) in proximal metaepiphysis of left femur without articular surface irregularity suggestive for bone bruise (stress fracture?), osteomyelitis & arthritis and marrow infiltration (less probable)

– Left hip joint effusion suggestive for synovitis

are seen.

COMMENT: Clinical correlation and MRI with contrast are recommended.
