Abstract:
MR is useful in evaluating foot abnormalities in diabetic patients. MR offers superior spatial resolution over radionuclide bone scans and superior soft tissue contrast over CT and radiography. MR is able to localize and distinguish soft tissue abscesses from soft tissue edema. MR is sensitive at demonstrating the presence and extent of osteomyelitis.
