These are initially screened by radiographs. For preoperative planning of hip preservation, 3-dimensional (3D) CT is commonly performed to assess bony </span></span>anatomy<span><span><span> and its alterations. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to evaluate labrum, </span>hyaline cartilage, tendons, </span>synovium<span>, and loose bodies, and provides vital information for surgical decision-making. However, conventional 2D MRI techniques are limited by lack of isotropic multiplanar reconstructions and partial volume artifacts. With advancements in hardware and software, novel isotropic 3D MR Proton Density images are acquired with acceptable acquisition times leading to improved visualization of soft tissue and osseous structures for various hip conditions. Three-Dimensional MRI allows multiplanar non-gap reconstructions along the structures of interest. It results in detection of small, otherwise inconspicuous labral tears without the need for MR arthrogram<span>, which can be subsequently measured. In addition, radial reconstructions of the femoral head can be performed from original 3D volume MR imaging and CT imaging without the need for individual different plane acquisitions. Three-Dimensional MRI thus impacts surgical decision-making for the important common hip derangement conditions. For example, femoral head hyaline cartilage loss may make hip preservation difficult or impossible. In this review, we discuss the advantages and technical details of 3D CT and MRI and their significant role in aiding hip preservation surgery for common hip conditions. The conditions discussed in this article include FAI, DDH, AVN, synovial disorders, cartilaginous tumors<span>, and hip fractures.</span></span></span></span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":49541,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Ultrasound Ct and Mri","volume":"44 4","pages":"Pages 252-270"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9813461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
