Radiology for the foot and ankle
In some cases of foot and ankle conditions, your podiatrist may recommend an MRI scan to help diagnose the root cause of the problem. The following conditions are diagnosed using an MRI scan:-
- Fractures
- Ligament/Tendon/Cartilage injuries
- Arthritis
- Tumours of soft tissue and bone
- Avascular necrosis
- Infections
Radiology makes use of imagery to determine the inner configuration of the foot and ankle through radiant energy. Imaging includes X-rays, ultrasound, CT scan and MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging. Radiology is a specialization in the medical field and only those who are experienced in this area can correctly diagnose and suggest treatment for an illness or injury.
