Ultrasound vs. MRI: a cheaper way to diagnose hip pinching?
NCT ID NCT07198646
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 30 people with hip pain caused by a condition called ischiofemoral impingement, where the hip bones pinch soft tissues. Researchers wanted to see if ultrasound measurements of the hip space and muscle thickness match up with MRI scans, which are the current standard. If ultrasound proves reliable, it could offer a faster and cheaper way to diagnose this condition.
