    1. Technique: has everything been imaged correctly; is it suitable for evaluation? Can the question be answered? 
    2. Bone mineral density? Ossal lesions?
    3. Check the cortex; cortex interrupted? cortex destruction? 
    4. Normal trabecular pattern on femoral head/neck?
    5. Abnormal iliopectineal line, ilioischial line, tear drop or Shenton line? 
    6. Hip joint: position? osteoarthritis? Asymmetry when compared to the other hip?
