Arthrogram

This investigation involves introducing a fine needle into your joint (most commonly the hip) and injecting a biological dye into it. Subsequent radiological investigations such as plain X-rays, CT scans or MRI scans utilise the presence of the dye to give more refined pictures of the detail within the joint. This is particularly helpful in assessing the congruence of the joint but also with an MR Arthrogram in evaluating labral tears.
