Radial dGEMRIC in developmental dysplasia of the hip and in femoroacetabular impingement: preliminary results

Radial dGEMRIC allows for the assessment of cartilage damage in the entire hip; different patterns of T1 distribution are found in DDH and FAI at progressed stages. The assessment of the anterior-superior quadrant of the acetabulum can be considered a fundamental advantage of the 3D dGEMRIC protocol.
