The various techniques and procedures employed when imaging the foot and ankle are discussed in detail in the book. Individual chapters are devoted to radiography, arthrography and computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography, and intra-articular injections. The second part of the book documents applying these techniques to the diverse clinical problems and diseases encountered in this anatomical region. Among the many topics addressed are congenital and developmental disorders, impingement, ankle pain (medial, lateral, posterior, and anterior), heel pain, metatarsalgia (big toeand lesser), stress fractures, postoperative imaging, and tumours and tumour-like lesions. Each chapter is written by an acknowledged expert in the field, and a wealth of illustrative material is included. This book will be of great value to musculoskeletal and general radiologists and orthopedic surgeons.

Reviews

“The book is well referenced, allowing you to peruse the original literature at your leisure. The quality of the diagrams and diagnostic images is good, as you would expect in a Springer publication. I would recommend this book to anyone who reports imaging or performs interventions in the foot and ankle.” (Richard Graham, RAD Magazine, May, 2025)
