Reason: L hip FAI and labral tear History: L hip pain Note that given the patient's inability to tolerate the exam, only a coronal T2 fat sat sequence obtained in the prone position and axial T1 sequence obtained in the decubitus position was obtained. The sequences are also limited by motion artifact.There is abnormal T2 and T1 marrow signal within the left femoral head and neck. Further characterization of this abnormal signal intensity is limited.Gadolinium is noted within the left hip joint. Evaluation of small labral tears is markedly limited however within the limits of exam, there is no obvious labral detachment.
Abnormal marrow signal within the left femoral head and neck which is nonspecific and cannot be further characterize given the limitations of the exam. Repeat examination of the left hip or alternatively CT may be beneficial to further characterize these findings. Evaluation of the labrum is essentially nondiagnostic.
