CT Hip Without IV Contrast Intra-articular sources of pain such as synovitis, whether inflammatory (eg, Lyme disease), proliferative (eg, synovial chondromatosis), or neoplastic (eg, chondroma), are well demonstrated on MRI. It can be quite difficult to distinguish tenosynovial giant cell tumor from synovial chondromatosis and other proliferative synovial processes, although CT might help to detect subtle calcifications, which can sometimes be seen with synovial chondromatosis but are not typically seen in the setting of tenosynovial giant cell tumor. Fluoride PET/CT Skull Base to Mid-Thigh There is no relevant literature to support the use of fluoride PET/CT skull base to mid-thigh in the assessment of the intra-articular synovial hyperplasia/neoplasia in a patient with chronic hip pain. Image-Guided Anesthetic +/- Corticosteroid Injection Hip Joint or Surrounding Structures There is no relevant literature to support the use of image-guided anesthetic +/- corticosteroid injection hip joint or surrounding structures in the assessment of the intra-articular synovial hyperplasia/neoplasia in a patient with chronic hip pain. Chronic Hip Pain MR Arthrography Hip Instillation of intra-articular contrast may be helpful in elucidating whether a body/bodies are intra-articular. However, in cases in which precise intra-articular pathology is still unknown and neoplasm remains a consideration, histologic sampling of the neoplastic process is probably indicated before instillation of contrast into the joint to avoid unintended harm. MRI Hip Without and With IV Contrast MRI hip with IV contrast administration may be helpful in distinguishing enhancing inflamed synovium from a bland joint effusion. MRI Hip Without IV Contrast Intra-articular sources of pain such as synovitis, whether inflammatory (eg, Lyme disease), proliferative (eg, synovial chondromatosis), or neoplastic (eg, chondroma), are well demonstrated on MRI.
