  • Title: Pathologic conditions mimicking osteonecrosis.
    Author: Jackson SM, Major NM.
    Journal: Orthop Clin North Am; 2004 Jul; 35(3):315-20, ix. PubMed ID: 15271539.
    Abstract:
    MRI has become increasingly helpful in establishing an early diagnosis of avascular necrosis(AVN). AVN often demonstrates a classic pattern on MRI; findings earlier in the course of the disease are less specific. Many pitfalls can complicate interpretation, and a number of pathologic conditions can share features of early AVN on MRI and plain radiographs. These entities should be distinguished from AVN, because treatment and prognosis may differ significantly.
