What are the best imaging studies to diagnose and confirm FAI?

The typical x-ray to assist in diagnosing FAI (Femoral Acetabular Impingement) is a 2-view of the hip to include an AP and Dunn. An MRI/Arthrogram of the hip can demonstrate if there is injury to the labrum or articular surface. A 3-D CT scan with reconstruction can provide an in-depth look at the lesions or bony growth deformity that will assist the surgeon in determining the areas that need to be reshaped and by how much.
