title: Magnetic resonance arthrography of the ankle.
abstract: Magnetic resonance (MR) arthrography is a useful technique in evaluating the articular structures of the ankle. With intra-articular administration of gadolinium-DTPA (Gd-DTPA), visualization and delineation of anatomic structures, that would not be depicted by other traditional imaging techniques, are achieved. It is a technique that proves to be advantageous as it does not require the use of ionizing radiation, nor iodinated contrast material as other conventional diagnostic modalities. MR arthrography also allows multiplanar imaging and provides excellent resolution.
