This study evaluated the accuracy of synthetic computed tomography (sCT), as compared to CT, for the 3D assessment of the hip morphology. Thirty male patients with asymptomatic hips, referred for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and CT, were included in this retrospective study. sCT images were generated from three‐dimensional radiofrequency‐spoiled T1‐weighted multi‐echo gradient‐echo MR images using a commercially available deep learning‐enabled software and were compared with CT images through mean error and surface distance computation and by means of eight clinical morphometric parameters relevant for hip care. Parameters included center‐edge angle (CEA), sharp angle, acetabular index, extrusion index, femoral head center‐to‐midline distance, acetabular version (AV), and anterior and posterior acetabular sector angles. They were measured by two senior orthopedic surgeons …
