What Is an MRI Hip?
A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan with innovative imaging technology and the power of a strong magnetic field and radio waves, can produce detailed images of the hip bones, joints, soft tissues, cartilage and ligaments.
The traditional x-rays provide very little information about the soft tissues and MRI can slice the patient's body in a number of planes and reconstruct the image in 3D. This high resolution imaging can be used to see the changes in the deep joints, changes in the bone at an early stage, infections and sports injuries that cannot be seen with conventional imaging.
What is the reason for having an MRI hip?
Common indications include:
o Persistent hip/groin pain or swelling
o Fractures, especially complex fractures and sports injuries are treated.
