Abstract
Modern imaging techniques are an invaluable tool for assessing pathomorphological changes of the hip. Thorough diagnostic analysis and therapeutic decision making mainly rely on correct interpretation of conventional radiographic projections as well as more modern techniques, including magnetic resonance arthrography. This article gives an overview of the imaging techniques that are routinely used for assessing pathological conditions of the hip, with a special focus on diagnostic findings in developmental dysplasia of the hip as well as in femoroacetabular impingement.
