Abstract

Writing a good magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) hip report requires a sound understanding of hip anatomy, imaging, and related pathologies. The structures of the hip most prone to pathology are the articular surfaces, labrum, subchondral bone, and gluteal tendons. Particular attention should be paid to abnormal hip morphology that is relatively common and can manifest as internal or external hip derangement. It is essential to appreciate and report the specific features of each pathology that carry clinical significance to aid patient management. This article is aimed at trainee radiologists and those less experienced with reporting hip MRI, focusing on the essential features to comment on and providing examples of terminology to use and MR images to illustrate these features.
