Abstract:
MR neurography offers a specialized approach for detailed nerve imaging when clinical symptoms indicate involvement. Imaging peripheral nerves in the foot and ankle is demanding due to their small size and challenging anatomy. This article provides an overview of foot and ankle nerve assessment, highlighting the importance of technical expertise and anatomic knowledge for accurate diagnosis.
