Intertarsal ligaments: high resolution MRI and anatomic correlation.
High resolution MRI was performed on four cadaveric foot specimens of human feet to demonstrate the ligaments of the tarsal joints. Spin echo T1 images were obtained using a local gradient coil that produces 6 G/cm and 100 A in all three axes. The best views for each of the individual ligaments were determined. High resolution MRI potentially can demonstrate most of the intertarsal ligaments.
