The clinical applications for an MRI of the ankle joint and foot, especially due to sports-related injuries, continue to expand due to improved imaging techniques, new coil technology, and the resulting anatomic detail provided by these enhancements.
Therefore, it has become even more important for radiologists and clinic physicians to understand the applications and limitations of MRI for evaluating ankle and foot disorders today. This book emphasizes MR anatomy, techniques, and clinical applications.
