This radioanatomy atlas is about the articulation and the hip area on MRI.

On these 252 3T MRI images over 340 anatomical structures were labeled. At the end of this module, there are 3D reconstructions of the hip joint (hip bone and femur) as a review of musculoskeletal anatomy.

This anatomical atlas was especially designed for a specific public (radiologists, surgeons, rheumatologists and physicians specializing in musculoskeletal imaging).

Images of the hip in MRI and 3D

The MRI images of the elbow derived from a healthy volunteer. Image acquisition was performed on a 3 Tesla MRI with a thickness of 4 mm in contiguous sections. We used the commonly used weightings (and RFP-FatSat T1) and impacts (axial, coronal and sagittal) in medical imaging studies of the hip.

The 3D images of the acetabulofemoral (hip) joint are three-dimensional reconstructions obtained from a scanner.

Labeled anatomical structures of the gluteal area (buttocks)

340 anatomical structures of the hip region were labeled, accessible on "Anatomical parts":

  • General anatomy: the different anatomical areas of the gluteal region: groin, inguinal region and the anterior and posterior regions of the hip and thigh
  • Bones: the femur, the hip bone (subdivided into ilium, ischium and pubis) as well as the sacrum were labeled separately with differently colored labels
  • Joints: identified in this MRI are the hip joint and the sacroiliac joint as well as the various foramina (obturator canal, small and large ischial foramina).
  • Ligaments: the main ligaments of the hip and its associated area (iliofemoral, ishciofemoral ligament and pubofemoral ligaments, ligament of the head of the femur (or round ligament)).
  • Muscles: muscle and tendon anatomy of the hip (adductors, gluteal muscles (or buttocks), hamstring muscles, femoral muscle quadrices).
  • Fascia / aponeurosis: the anatomy of the fascia lata and iliotibial tract
  • Bursae of the lower limb: the different bursae of the hip region (trochanteric, ischial and iliopectineal bursae)
  • Digestive system: the main digestive structures (rectum, sigmoid colon, anal canal) visible on the pelvic side.
  • Urinary system: the path of the ureters in their pelvic portion as well as the different parts of the bladder visible on this MRI.
  • Male genital system: main structures visible in MRI (prostate, seminal vesicles, root of the penis).
  • Pelvic cavity: the different zones and cavities of the pelvis and groin were labeled (inguinal, pararectal and paravesical fossa, the ischio-anal fossa and pudendal canal).
  • Arteries: the arrangement of external and internal iliac arteries as well as the common and deep branches of the femoral artery at the level of the gluteal and hip areas.
  • Veins: superficial (saphenous) and deep venous circulation (branches of the femoral veins).
  • Lymph nodes: mainly the iliac and inguinal lymph nodes
  • Nerves: all the branches of the nerve issuing from the lumbosacral plexus, including the sciatic and femoral nerves.

 

Anatomical parts

on "Anatomical parts" the user can choose to show or hide all the anatomical labels or to display only the most important anatomical structures.

 

Contrast

On "Contrast" the user can choose between T1 or DP-FatSat weightings.

 

Anatomical terminology

The anatomical structures were labeled by Antoine Micheau M.D. (Radiologist, Montpellier – France), using the Terminologia Anatomica.
