Cohort study demonstrates MRI measurement correlation with CT-based acetabular angles, indicating CT remains essential for coverage assessment.

The study aims to evaluate the correlation between fast field echo MRI and computed tomography in measuring acetabular sector angles.
Cohort study design involving 65 symptomatic dysplastic hips.
Independent observers measured angles using both CT and MRI.
Key measurements included lateral center-edge angle, anterior and posterior acetabular wall indices, and Tönnis angle.
CT-MRI agreement assessed using Spearman correlation coefficient.
Intermediate acetabular sector angles demonstrated strong correlation (ρ = 0.807) between CT and MRI.
Equatorial and proximal acetabular sector angles showed moderate correlations (ρ = 0.408 and 0.398, respectively).
All posterior acetabular sector angles had good agreement, with equatorial PASA showing ρ = 0.766.
Moderate correlation between AWI from CT and MRI-derived AASAs, suggesting potential misinterpretation.
