It can be quite difficult to distinguish tenosynovial giant cell tumor from synovial chondromatosis and other proliferative synovial processes. MRI, including a gradient-echo sequence, may be useful in assessing for blooming, which would indicate the presence of hemosiderin, such as can be seen in tenosynovial giant cell tumor. US Hip There is no relevant literature to support the use of diagnostic US hip in the assessment of the intra-articular synovial hyperplasia/neoplasia in a patient with chronic hip pain. Variant 7: Chronic hip pain with low back or knee pathology or pain. Radiographs demonstrate hip osteoarthritis. Want to quantify amount of pain related to the hip. Next imaging study. Bone Scan Hip Although a bone scan of the hip may be able to demonstrate pathology about the hip, it cannot be used to quantify the amount pain that is generated from the hip pathology. CT Hip With IV Contrast Although CT hip with IV contrast may be able to demonstrate pathology about the hip, it cannot be used to quantify the amount pain that is generated from the hip pathology. CT Hip Without and With IV Contrast Although CT hip without and with IV contrast may be able to demonstrate pathology about the hip, it cannot be used to quantify the amount pain that is generated from the hip pathology. CT Hip Without IV Contrast Although CT hip without IV contrast may be able to demonstrate pathology about the hip, it cannot be used to quantify the amount pain that is generated from the hip pathology. Fluoride PET/CT Skull Base to Mid-Thigh Although fluoride PET/CT skull base to mid-thigh may be able to demonstrate pathology about the hip, knee, and spine, it cannot be used to quantify the amount pain that is generated from the hip pathology. MR Arthrography Hip Although MR arthrography hip may be able to demonstrate pathology about the hip, it cannot be used to quantify the amount pain that is generated from the hip pathology. If anesthetic is mixed with the contrast that is injected Chronic Hip Pain
