Imaging plays a crucial role in the early diagnosis of avascular necrosis (AVN), a condition in which reduced blood supply causes bone tissue to deteriorate. Early detection is essential to prevent bone collapse and preserve joint function. MRI is the most sensitive imaging technique for identifying AVN in its early stages, often before changes appear on X-rays. Other imaging methods, including CT scans, X-rays, and bone scans, help assess disease progression and guide treatment decisions. Timely imaging enables appropriate intervention and improves the chances of preserving the affected joint.
