Findings
Coronal STIR image(1) and sagittal STIR image(3) show hyperintense signal in the right femoral head, neck and intertrochanteric region. Corresponding coronal T1 image(2) shows hypointense signal in the similar region while the axial T2 image(4) shows no significant hypointensity/serpiginous lesion. Mild synovial effusion of the right hip joint also observed with no significant articular surface erosions.
Diagnosis
