Foot and Ankle An Issue of Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging of the foot and ankle is playing an increasingly important role in the diagnosis of a multitude of injuries and abnormalities as well as planning for their treatment. The ability of the MRI to directly image structures and changes with an advanced resolution makes it the preferred imaging modality for orthopedic and athletic injuries. This up-to-date new issue of MRI Clinics, Guest Edited by Douglass Beall, examines such topics as Ankle Inversion Injury, Imaging of Ankle Injuries in Winter Olympic Athletes, the Diabetic Foot, and Medial Ankle Pain. This is a must have reference that illustrates some of the clinical applications of magnetic resonance imaging in foot and ankle pathology.
