TI  - Evaluation of İntra-Articular Hip Pathology: Comparison of CT Arthrography And MR Arthrography
AB  - Aim: To compare computed tomography arthrography (CTA) and magnetic resonancearthrography (MRA) in the evaluation of intra-artcular hip lesions.Material and Methods: 42 CTA and MRA procedures were performed for 41 patients whohave arthrography indications after standard hip MR examinations. All imaging findings wereevaluated by a single musculoskeletal radiologist. Data regarding the presence of labral tear,paralabral cyst, cartilage damage, the femoral head-neck morphology and the acetabularretroversion were noted for each examination. Eight patients were operated. The McNemarchi-square test was used to compare radiological examinations.Results: Labral tears and cartilage damages were the most common findings. Labral tears werevisualized at 23 of 42 (%55) hips on MRA and most common site of location was anterosuperiorquadrant (21/23, %91.3), on the other hand they were visualized at 17 of 42 (%40) hips on CTAwith the most common site as anterosuperior quadrant (15/17, %88.2). Cartilage lesions werevisualized 10 of 42 (%24.80) hips on MRA while 11 (%26.19) cartilage lesions were shown onCTA. %9.5 (4/42) patients have acetabular cartilage lesions and %14.3 (6/42) patients haveboth acetabular and femoral cartilage lesions on MRA. Meanwhile %11.9 (5/42) patients haveacetabular cartilage lesions, %2.4 (1/42) patients has femoral cartilage lesions alone, and also%11.9 (5/42) patients have both acetabular and femoral cartilage lesions on CTA. Statisticalanalysis shows that CTA and MRA are compatible with each other for the evaluation ofintraarticular hip lesions (p>0.05).Conclusion: CTA can be used as an alternative imaging method to MRA for the detection ofintra-articular pathologies in appropriate patients especially who have imaging challenges dueto surgical hardwares and contraindications of the MRI procedure.
