MSCT of the Hip Joints
MSCT of the hip joints is a modern high-precision imaging method that provides thin-slice scans of bones and soft tissues from multiple angles. The technique creates detailed 3D reconstructions, allowing an accurate evaluation of joint structures, bone density, soft-tissue abnormalities, traumatic injuries and degenerative conditions. Both hip joints are scanned to obtain a complete clinical picture.
When the Examination Is Recommended
- fractures and traumatic injuries of the hip or pelvic bones;
- aseptic necrosis of the femoral head;
- benign and malignant bone tumors (osteoma, osteoblastoma);
- congenital hip abnormalities;
- arthrosis and degenerative joint disease;
- capsular injuries and soft-tissue changes;
- Perthes disease;
- suspected osteoporosis and fracture risk assessment.
What MSCT Shows
The scan provides detailed information about:
- tumor processes and their spread;
- metastatic lesions;
- inflammatory changes and infection;
- traumatic injuries and post-traumatic defects;
- congenital structural abnormalities;
- vascular and nerve involvement;
- foreign bodies;
- bone density and degenerative remodeling.
How the Procedure Is Performed
No special preparation is required. The patient removes metal objects and lies on the scanner table, which moves into the CT ring so that the hip joints are centered in the scanning area. The examination takes about 1 minute and produces high-quality 3D images.
Normally, the scan is performed without contrast. If further clarification is needed, contrast-enhanced MSCT may be recommended. In such cases, blood tests for creatinine are required beforehand.
The procedure is completely painless. The only condition for optimal imaging is to remain still during the scan.
