| Popis: | As with other parts of the musculoskeletal system, the soft tissues of the foot can be affected by a wide variety of pathologic entities including trauma, congenital abnormalities, infections, and neoplastic disorders. While plain radiographs are usually the initial examination for evaluation of pathology, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is critical to evaluate for abnormalities within the ligaments, tendons, and other nonosseous structures within the foot. The constellation of clinical and MRI findings often allows a relatively specific diagnosis to be rendered. This article discusses both benign and malignant processes within the soft tissues of the foot and presents their characteristic imaging findings with MRI. |
