Ischiofemoral impingement syndrome (IFI) is a source of extra-articular pain caused by narrowing between ischium and femur in native hips. Secondary compression of quadratus femoris muscle leads to edema, tears,…
Understanding the complex anatomy and development of the hip is crucial for diagnosing and categorizing femoral neck stress fractures in athletes. These fractures result from repetitive mechanical loading, affecting trabecular…
Radiologists play a key role in identifying, characterizing, sampling, and, in some cases, treating abnormalities of the spinal bone marrow. This article discusses the composition and dynamic nature of the…
Imaging plays a critical role in the preoperative and postoperative evaluation of patients with femoroacetabular impingement. Non-contrast MR imaging and direct magnetic resonance arthrography of the hip are the modalities…
Snapping hip is a common cause of hip complaints, so radiologists should have it on their radar when involved in the workup and care of young patients with hip complaints,…
The brachial plexus is a network of nerves responsible for the motor and sensory innervation of the upper extremity and upper chest. Pathologies affecting this structure can lead to significant…
Intramedullary spinal cord tumors are rare neoplasms that can result in significant patient morbidity and mortality. Symptom onset is often insidious and not specific; thus, imaging is imperative for accurate…
Acetabular labral tears are a mechanical cause of hip pain. Hip MR imaging should be performed on 3T magnets using small field of view and high-resolution imaging. If using a…
Myelopathy refers to spinal cord involvement from diverse etiologies resulting in neurologic symptoms. The presentation is variable, often posing a diagnostic challenge due to overlapping clinical and imaging features. Classification…
MR imaging is a valuable imaging tool in the assessment of spinal arthritides, allowing the radiologist to formulate a rational differential diagnosis and construct a meaningful radiologic report. Of this,…
