 | Suspected tendon injury/inflammation. MRI allows accurate assessment of the extensor, flexor, peroneal and
Achilles
tendons. |
| Suspected ligamentous injury or syndesmosis sprain. |
| Suspected Morton's neuroma. |
| Suspected osteochondral
lesion. MRI allows detection, accurate assessment and staging. |
| Assessment of unexplained
ankle pain. |
| Assessment of suspected soft tissue impingement. |
| Assessment of the subtalar joint and sinus tarsus. |
| Assessment of ankle fractures. MRI allows accurate 3D depiction of suspected distal
tibial, tarsal, metatarsal and phalangeal fractures. It is much more sensitive than both
plain radiography and scintigraphy at detecting suspected stress fracture. |
