Abstract
Over the past few years, interest in the concept of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has grown tremendously. As the orthopedic community has begun to show intense interest in the apparent relationship between FAI and early onset of degenerative change, there has been a concomitant increase in the desire for high-quality imaging of the hip. Although traditional imaging modalities have, to date, been sufficient for imaging the extra-articular structures and the osseous structures, imaging of intra-articular structures, specifically the cartilage and labrum, remains challenging.
