Course Description

Foot and ankle injuries/abnormalities can be amongst the most debilitating conditions in MSK imaging. Whether it’s a game-time injury featuring an athlete or a grocery store parking lot accident involving your elderly neighbor, reading a foot & ankle MRI entails participation in decisions about a patient’s mobility and therefore their quality of life. In addition to discerning orthopedic surgeons, you may also field referrals from busy podiatrists who know their field thoroughly and expect the same from their imagers.

There’s a lot to consider with the complex anatomy of the foot and ankle; spraining the ankle ligaments can often lead to complications in the mid-foot and masses in any of the local regions can have an adverse effect on the multiple nerve pathways that pass through the joint. Recognizing the signs of injury in one area of the foot can help you ferret out what other anatomy may have been impacted.

If you aren’t lucky enough to get a detailed or accurate report of the mechanism of injury, you may be using corollary clues to piece together your evaluation.

  • Which damage is acute and which is chronic?
  • How stable is the ankle?
  • Is nerve injury a factor?

Join Dr. Stephen Pomeranz in this Foot & Ankle MRI Mastery Series, including in-depth review of anatomy, protocols & sequences along with extensive case review. This Course will help you sharpen your reading skills and establish yourself as a go-to reader in this musculoskeletal field where the volume of patients can be as large as the injury variation is wide.
