Magnetic resonance imaging as the primary imaging modality in children presenting with acute non-traumatic hip pain.
The role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in children presenting with acute non-traumatic hip pain was evaluated prospectively. Hip MRI was performed in addition to standard investigations (arthrosonography +/- hip radiographs) in 50 children presenting to the accident and emergency department of a paediatric hospital. MRI was performed on an open 0.23T system and comprised gradient echo T1 ...

متن کاملLimited magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the occult hip fracture.
INTRODUCTION Diagnosis of hip fracture is normally readily made from clinical evaluation and plain radiographs. Occasionally, clinical suspicion of fracture is not confirmed on plain X-rays. MATERIALS AND METHOD Between January 2001 and March 2002, 422 patients were admitted to our department for post-traumatic hip pain. The diagnosis of hip fracture was unequivocally made in 365 patients (86...
