The Diagnostic Performance of Non-Contrast 3-Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (3-T MRI) versus 1.5-Tesla Magnetic Resonance Arthrography (1.5-T MRA) in Femoro-Acetabular Impingement
Highlights • High resolution sequences at 3-T MRI extend accuracy in hip assessment without any need for intra-articular injection of contrast media. • As compared to 1.5-T MRA, 3-T non-contrast MRI of the hip improves the patient experience and avoids the potential risks of an invasive procedure an...

Zusammenfassung: | Highlights • High resolution sequences at 3-T MRI extend accuracy in hip assessment without any need for intra-articular injection of contrast media. • As compared to 1.5-T MRA, 3-T non-contrast MRI of the hip improves the patient experience and avoids the potential risks of an invasive procedure and contrast media. • Avoiding the need for arthrographic procedures in the Radiology Department improves patient throughput and reduces costs. |
