The YAHiR (Young Athletes' Hip Research) Collaborative takes over the JOSPT Insights podcast today with a deep dive into best practice for imaging the painful hip.
What is the best approach to imaging for young people with hip pain? When do you reach for radiographs? What are the pros and cons of MRI for hip pain? And how do you interpret and act on the information you gather from the scan?
Never fear, Dr Vasco Mascarenhas—radiologist and Assistant Professor at Católica Medical School, Portugal—is here to explain all you need to know to confidently use imaging for hip pain in clinical practice.
