Hip pain has a significant impact on the daily lives of many patients with a wide range of underlying causes[1]. Bone marrow edema (BME) is commonly observed in trauma-related cases but can also be found in non-traumatic conditions such as hip osteoarthritis and spontaneous necrosis of the femoral head[2]. Early detection of BME plays a crucial role in diagnostic accuracy and prognostic prediction, necessitating improvements in detection methods[3,4].
