HIP Joint MR-Arthrogram Protocol


HIP MR-ARTHROGRAM
For dedicated imaging of a single hip during arthrogram, a smaller field of view with a dedicated coil or flexible surface coil is used, allowing for visualization of smaller structures such as the labrum.  Notice the decreased SNR due to the smaller field of view.


Sequence for HIP Arthrogram


  • Coronal - both hips T1
  • Axial - affected hip      T1 Fat Sat
  • Axial -affected hip       PD Fat Sat
