Avascular Necrosis refers to the bone death in epiphyseal or subarticular location secondary to interruption of blood supply. MRI has become the most sensitive, specic and widely used diagnostic imaging modality for evaluation of AVN of femoral head. The aim was to study the stages of presentation of Avascular Necrosis of femoral head on Magnetic Resonance Imaging in tertiary care centre .It is a Hospital record based descriptive study carried out at the Department of Radio-diagnosis, those patients which showed signs for avascular necrosis of femoral head over a period of three years were included in the study. Staging of Avascular Necrosis of femoral head was done as per Ficat and Arlet classication and distribution was done on the basis of Age, Gender and Laterality. Out of 129 patients with suspected AVN, 68 patients showed features of AVN of femoral head on MRI .It was found that males were commonly affected with mean age group between 31-40 years. Most of the patients had bilateral involvement. It was found that most of the patients presented during stage III of the disease. It was also observed that Coronal sequence of T1w image was useful in diagnosing most cases of AVN and hence can be used as a rapid protocol in diagnosing AVN.

Tertiary care centres continue to experience over-utilisation of diagnostic imaging services for lower back pain cases that may not be required. Moreover, these services may require additional time and consequently delay access to services that offer conservative management, i.e., physiotherapy, and hence, increase the direct and indirect costs with no added quality of care. A logic model was developed based on qualitative and quantitative studies that explains the plan and process evaluation strategies to reduce imaging for lower back pain in tertiary hospitals. Logic models are useful tools for defining programme components. The delivery of the components is ensured by well-defined process evaluations that identify any needed modifications. The proposed logic model provides a road map for spine clinics in tertiary care hospitals to decrease the number of patient referrals for magnetic resonance imaging and waiting times for consultations and services and promote early access to physiotherapy services.
