title: Computed tomography of podiatric disorders: a review.
abstract: Computed tomography has become invaluable in diagnosing various disorders of the foot and ankle. Because it provides a three-dimensional range of views of both soft tissue and osseous anatomy and depicts the spatial relationship between structures, it has many advantages over conventional methods. With the use of computed tomography, it is now possible to view the foot in a variety of planes by placing the patient in various positions.
