  • Title: [Computed tomography of the femur head. Normal aspects and appearance in aseptic necrosis].
    Author: Gozzi G, Pozzi Mucelli R, de Morpurgo P, Muner G, Pozzi Mucelli F, Abbona M, De Denaro M.
    Journal: Radiol Med; 1985 Apr; 71(4):211-5. PubMed ID: 4048556.
    Abstract:
    The diagnostic value of Computed Tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of the aseptic necrosis of the femoral head is discussed. The CT findings in the different evolutive stages are reported and the respective diagnostic value of Conventional Radiology and CT are discussed. The CT findings of femoral head necrosis in the early phases are emphasized. The capability of CT to demonstrate structural changes in femoral heads with regular morphology allows to consider this technique when there exists a clinical doubt of osteonecrosis of the femoral head and in risk patients.
