The mean lesion volume measured from gross specimen was 20.4 cm3, CT was 22.3 cm3, and MRI was 22.5 cm3. Lesion volume measured from CT by radiologist 1 was 22.6 cm3 and from radiologist 2 was 22.9 cm3. Lesion volume measured form MRI from radiologist 1 was 22.3 cm3and from radiologist 2 was 23.4 cm.3 Conclusion: For individuals with ONFH in Association Research Circulation Osseous stage III or higher, CT and MRI can accurately depict the lesion features.
