The foot and ankle are commonly imaged for a variety of pathologies ranging from traumatic, degenerative, in- flammatory, neoplastic, and others. Over the past two de- cades, emphasis in radiology has been directed toward “ad- vanced ” imaging, primarily computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging ...

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has opened new horizons in the di- agnosis and treatment of many musculoskeletal diseases of the ankle and foot. It demonstrates abnormalities in the bones and soft tissues before they become evident at other imaging modalities. The exquisite soft-tissue contrast resolution, noninvasive ...

The findings at magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of eight patients with primary tumors of the foot were compared with those at gross pathologic examination. In all cases, there was excellent correlation between the two studies. When compared with computed tomography (CT), MR imaging was superior in defining the ...

There is no “one best test” for sorting out the diagnos- tic dilemmas commonly encountered. The diagnostic evaluation often includes con- ventional radiography, computed tomog-.

Although MRI is typically the preferred imaging modality for suspected stress fractures and osteomyelitis of the foot and ankle, radionuclide imaging can also be useful to confirm or exclude these diagnoses [9]. Conventional arthrography in the past has been used for the diagnosis and staging of ankle ligament disruptions ...
