  		Figure 1. 50-year-old male with right hip pain. (a) Coronal turbo spin echo (TSE) T1 weighted image without sensitivity encoding (SENSE), (repetition time (TR) 500 ms, effective echo time (TEeff) 15 ms, turbo factor (TF) 4, low high filling of K space) showing pattern of signal change through a line drawn through both hips (left prosthesis) with associated graph depicting signal intensity change per millimetre. (b) Coronal TSE T1 weighted image with SENSE, (TR 500 ms, TEeff 15 ms, TF 4, low high filling of K space) showing almost identical pattern of signal change through a line drawn through both hips (left prosthesis) with associated graph depicting almost identical signal intensity change per millimetre.

  		Figure 2. 32-year-old female with bilateral hip pain. (a) Coronal turbo spin echo (TSE) T1 weighted image without sensitivity encoding (SENSE), (repetition time (TR) 500 ms, effective echo time (TEeff) 15 ms, turbo factor (TF) 4, low high filling of K space) showing 250 pixel regions of interest yielding noise (14), muscle signal (15), and fat signal (16) with associated histogram indicating range and mean signal intensity in fat (1277). (b) Coronal TSE T1 weighted image with SENSE, (TR 500 ms, TEeff 15 ms, TF 4, low high filling of K space) showing 250 pixel regions of interest yielding noise (18), muscle signal (19), and fat signal (20) with associated histogram indicating range and mean signal intensity in fat (1266).
