    Computerized tomography (CT) provides detailed hindfoot imaging. Coronal sections are optimal for visualizing the talocalcaneal joint, with transverse views aiding talonavicular and calcaneocuboid joint assessment.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic imaging
    • Radiology
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Hindfoot injuries require accurate radiographic assessment.
    • Standard X-rays can be limited in visualizing complex hindfoot articulations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the optimal technique for computerized tomography (CT) scanning of the hindfoot.
    • To highlight the utility of different imaging planes for specific hindfoot structures.

    Main Methods:

    • Radiographic sections of the hindfoot were obtained using a computerized tomographic (CT) scanning unit.
    • The standard examination involved coronal sections (4 mm thick at 4-mm intervals) from the posterior talocalcaneal facet through the navicular.
    • Occasional use of the transverse plane for specific joint evaluations.

    Main Results:

    • The coronal plane offers the most comprehensive view of the talocalcaneal joint facets.
    • Transverse plane imaging is beneficial for assessing the talonavicular joint, calcaneocuboid joint, and talar neck.
    • Minor scanner modifications can optimize hindfoot CT studies.

    Conclusions:

    • Coronal CT sections are the primary method for detailed hindfoot imaging.
    • Tailored use of transverse views enhances visualization of specific hindfoot articulations.
    • Optimized CT protocols improve diagnostic accuracy for hindfoot pathologies.
