Abstract:
MR imaging is the imaging modality of choice for the evaluation of acute and chronic injuries of the midfoot. The complex anatomy of this region demands the multiplanar capabilities of this modality, and because injuries of this region most commonly involve the tendon, ligament, and muscular supports of the foot and ankle, MR imaging offers superior soft tissue resolution. MR imaging has the added advantage of accurate osseous injury characterization in most instances; however, CT also may be required, because the two modalities are complementary for demonstrating pathology of bone.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
