LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Explain the pathophysiology of AVN. Classifying AVN based on MR imaging findings. Use of limited MRI imaging in screening as well as in early detection of AVN.
BACKGROUND
Avascular necrosis (AVN) or osteonecrosis of the femoral head occurs due to compromise in vascular supply. Early diagnosis is of utmost importance as delay in diagnosis increases cost of treatment and morbidity.MRI is the sensitive imaging tool for detection of AVN. Our review will focus on imaging findings, classification and use of limited sequences for screening and early diagnosis of AVN.
