Evaluation of plain radiography and MRI in diagnosing pathology of hip joints
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: high-resolution direct MR imaging of the hip provides the best means for evaluating intra-articular pathology. However, radiography remains important for the diagnosis of subtle bony irregularities associated with femoroacetabular impingement. Hence the aim of the present study was to estimate the role of MRI in early evaluation of painful hip joints with subtle plain radiographic findings Materials and Methods: A total of 70 patients are included in the study. Total of 5 different pathologies are included in the study. Such as Avascular necrosis, tuberculosis of hip joint, joint effusion, metastasis of hip joint and osteoarthritis. All the patients were subjected to palin radiographic and MRI diagnosis. Results: In our study of 70 cases, 26 cases are diagnosed as AVN, 18 cases showing Joint effusion, 14 cases showing Osteoarthritis, 10 cases as TB Hip, and 2 cases showing Metastatic disease to Hip joint. Discussion and Conclusion: Our study proves MRI as gold standard in evaluation of soft tissue and articular cartilage which are having limitations for the detection of pathology on plain radiography.
