Screening for avascular necrosis of the hip with rapid MRI : Preliminary experience

The purpose of this work was to compare rapidly acquired MR images with routinely employed SE and turbo SE (TSE) images in screening for hip avascular necrosis (AVN). Twelve patients with findings suspicious for radiographically occult AVN of one or both hips were studied with our routine screening...

Zusammenfassung:	The purpose of this work was to compare rapidly acquired MR images with routinely employed SE and turbo SE (TSE) images in screening for hip avascular necrosis (AVN). Twelve patients with findings suspicious for radiographically occult AVN of one or both hips were studied with our routine screening protocol (imaging time >7 min) and similarly weighted, rapidly acquired MR sequences (imaging time
