Abstract:
To describe a technique of cross-sectional imaging of the adult hip designed to evaluate for anatomic anomalies that may predispose to internal derangement in addition to the routine anatomic assessment. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, MR arthrography, and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) scanning protocols utilize high-resolution imaging, and the surrounding anatomy is also assessed using these scanning techniques. Various measurements may be obtained to assess the overarching anatomic configuration including the caput caput collum diaphysis angle, the femoral angle of torsion, the acetabular angle of torsion, the center edge angle, and the femur length.

Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
