MR arthrography of the Hip
This article discusses the use of MR arthrography for the evaluation of mechanical derangement of the hip. This technique is used primarily to evaluate the acetabular labral tears; however, the articular cartilage and joint capsule also are visualized. MR arthrography and hip arthrography have had a significant impact on the diagnosis and treatment of patients with mechanical hip pain.
