Axial computed tomographic anatomy of the foot. Part I: Hindfoot.
Osseous and soft tissue anatomy of the human hindfoot is presented as visualized on high-resolution axial computed tomography (CT). Radiologic-pathologic correlation with the use of a cadaver specimen and contiguous CT sections 1.5 mm. thick was performed for structural identification. The foot of a healthy senior citizen was scanned by using 5.0-mm. slice thickness. Because of the proven and potential capabilities of CT in the diagnosis of hindfoot disorders, this report serves as an important standard for comparison with clinical studies.
