title: Magnetic resonance imaging of plantar fasciitis and other causes of heel pain.
abstract: Heel pain can be caused by disorders of either the plantar fascia, calcaneus, tendons, or adjacent nerves. Because these conditions can lead to pain located in a small area of the heel, a precise clinical diagnosis may be difficult. This article describes some of these various causes of heel pain and how MR imaging helps to characterize them.
