Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the diagnostic modality of choice for evaluation of traumatic ligamentous and tendinous injuries of the ankle and hindfoot. MRI is also valuable in the detection of occult bony trauma, osteochondral injuries, avascular necrosis, osteomyelitis, and a variety of other osseous conditions. This unit presents basic protocols for T1‐ and T2‐weighted sequences and short tau inversion recovery (STIR) imaging. Additional imaging following intravenous gadolinium is indicated in selected cases.
