MR Hip WO AVN MSK Protocol

Scan notes:

Axial and Coronal are identical to Pelvis WO.
Note that Sagittal is a PD Sequence.
If bilateral, do separate Sagittal through each hip.

If hardware is present:

  • Do Axial and Coronal STIR instead of fat-sat mid-TE
  • If with Contrast, do non-fat-sat T1 post-contrast
