title: Intertarsal ligaments: high resolution MRI and anatomic correlation.
abstract: 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.
