Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Avascular necrosis of the hip is characterized by the loss of blood supply to the bone, leading to bone cell death and potential collapse of the hip joint. MRI is the preferred imaging modality for the early diagnosis of avascular necrosis. MRI is sensitive and specific for detecting bone marrow changes and can detect the disease process earlier than radiographs. Therefore, option C, “avascular”, is the best choice for this question.
