Abstract:
Magnetic resonance imaging enhances the inherent differences in the density of tissues to allow the diagnosis of pedal disorders not readily observed by other diagnostic means. The technique is particularly useful for the evaluation of the nature and extent of soft tissue pathology. In addition, certain osseous and joint disorders, such as osteomyelitis and Sudeck's atrophy, may be detected in their incipient stages.
