title: Magnetic resonance imaging of the foot and ankle.
abstract: This article describes the application of MR imaging to musculoskeletal imaging, specifically, imaging of the foot and ankle. The instrumentation, safety, and imaging techniques are discussed with specific attention to fat suppression, three-dimensional Fourier transform images, dynamic imaging, magnetization transfer contrast, and MR angiography. Normal and abnormal osseous, ligamentous, and tendonous anatomy is discussed and illustrated.
