A Coronal T1 fat suppressed image of the pelvis demonstrates a geographic area of abnormal signal intensity in the left femoral head (red arrows) compatible with ANFH. B Coronal T1 weighted image performed 4 Months after demonstrates interval improvement of ANFH as well ghost tracts from prior drilling through which osteoblasts were transplanted (red arrows). C Coronal Short-TI Inversion Recovery weighted image performed 18 Months after demonstrates further interval improvement in surface area involvement of the left femoral head involvement by ANFH (red arrows). D Coronal Short-TI Inversion Recovery weighted image performed 36 Months after demonstrates complete resolution of the femoral head ANFH (red arrows)
