Hip Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Conveys basic knowledge and comprehensive understanding of the topic of hip radiology
Highlights common concerns and procedures in hip radiology from an orthopedic standpoint
Includes field-leading researchers and doctors as highlighted contributors
Hip Magnetic Resonance Imaging presents a basic yet comprehensive discussion of the role and use of MRI in the
diagnosis and treatment of injuries and diseases of the hip, highlighting common concerns and procedures. Beginning
with the principles of MRI and dGEMRIC and moving on to normal and abnormal hip anatomy, the focus shifts to the MRI
techniques used in the detection of disease conditions of the hip, including labral disease, osteonecrosis, extra-
articular conditions and cartilage damage. Chapters on the utilization of biochemical imaging biomarkers in the
treatment of hip disorders round out the text. Written by experts in radiology and orthopedics and generously
illustrated with MRI radiographs, this book will be an important reference work for clinicians in those fields, as well
as practitioners of sports medicine and primary care physicians.
