Abstract

Incorporation of hip magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) into clinical practice can confirm suspected pathology, separate differential diagnoses, and direct treatment plans when dealing with complex pathology involving the hip joint and surrounding structures. The purpose of this chapter is to present the basic science of MRI related to the hip, review the normal imaging characteristics of hip structures, and detail imaging of typical hip pathologies.
