Appropriate imaging studies and their interpretation.
Imaging studies are essential for the diagnosis and management of many of the hip disease entities dealt with in this symposium. This paper briefly touches on salient aspects of standard radiography, "special" views, arthrography, radioisotope imaging, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Orthopedic surgeons must be familiar with the correct applications and interpretation of these modalities so as to use them efficiently and economically.
