title: Abnormalities in and around the hip: MR imaging versus sonography.
abstract: Sonography and MR imaging should be considered complementary rather than competing modalities. They demonstrate similar abnormalities of the soft tissues, but MR imaging is able to demonstrate intraosseous and articular abnormalities and offers a better anatomic overview because of its larger field of view, whereas sonography offers dynamic evaluation and can provide real-time guidance for percutaneous procedures. Both of these modalities have roles in the imaging evaluation of injuries in and around the hip.
