5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted (with fat saturation) axial images.

5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.

Subtle hyperintense areas are seen in the subchondral aspect of the right femoral head on the T2 Weighted and STIR images. There is thinning of the articular cartilage overlying the right femoral head. Minimal periarticular osteophytic lipping is noted.

There is no effusion within both the hip joints.

There is slight enlargement of the prostate gland.
