Advanced Imaging of the Foot and Ankle

Advanced Imaging of the Foot and Ankle is a comprehensive guide to current medical imaging technologies used in diagnosing injuries and disorders of the foot and ankle. The book contains a wealth of high-resolution imaging studies for magnetic resonance (MR), computed tomography (CT), and ultra sonography (US), as well as the latest in nuclear medicine imaging technology. Chapters are focused on clinical cases involving injures and disorders of each anatomic region of the foot and ankle, including the Achilles tendon, heel, tarsometatarsal joints, metatarsals, metarasophalagial joints, and the toes. Additionally, information is given on safety considerations for imaging studies, including radiation concerns, and an appendix includes useful MR and CT protocols to apply to clinical use.
