"Note: This article aims to frame a general concept of an MRI protocol for the assessment of a single hip joint. Protocol specifics will vary depending on MRI scanner type, specific hardware and software, radiologist and perhaps referrer preference, patient factors e.g. implants, specific indications and time constraints"

"Some indications might benefit from an application of contrast media as e.g. osteonecrosis of the hip, tumours or inflammatory disease"

"Musculoskeletal examinations are generally done on both 1.5 and 3 T and this is also the case for the hip. They profit from the improved spatial and contrast resolution of 3 T. Postoperative examinations in patients with metallic implants, however, should be done on 1.5 T with metal artifact reduction sequence."

"Typical indications include pain in the hip and/or buttock, hip-related groin pain, decreased range of motion, limping and comprise the following:"
"coronal images: in case of suspected extraarticular or acetabular pathology, labral or chondral lesions"
"planes: coronal, sagittal, axial or coronal oblique* and axial oblique* depending on the pathology"
"purpose: for radial reconstructions in femoroacetabular impingement, labral or chondral pathology"
"purpose: for inflammatory conditions, osteonecrosis of the hip insufficiency fracture, transient bone marrow oedema, bursitis or tumours"
"The most accurate procedure for the assessment of femoroacetabular impingement, labral and chondral lesions including intraarticular loose bodies."
