The MR appearances of foot problems in patients with diabetes mellitus are illustrated. MR has been found to be effective in the diagnosis of osteomyelitis, the most common indication for imaging the feet of diabetic patients. MR has the ability to image numerous pathologic processes, especially subtle soft-tissue changes, that are not detectable with other imaging methods.
