Irregular abnormal signal intensities are seen in both femoral heads, which display hypointense signal intensity on T1WI and hyperintense signal intensity on T2 and STIR WI. A hyperintense line is seen in the right femoral head between the ischemic and normal bone marrow. A subchondral bone cyst and cortical irregularities are seen in the left femoral head superiorly
