Magnetic resonance imaging of pathologic conditions of the Achilles tendon
Orthop Rev.
1990 Nov.
Abstract
The advent of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has improved imaging of the Achilles tendon. Various pathologic conditions of the Achilles tendon and their MRI characteristics are described. The superior resolution of the tendon provided by MRI can aid in the diagnosis of Achilles tendon disorders, which include complete or partial rupture of the tendon as well as postoperative assessment of tendinous healing, tendinitis and tenosynovitis, and various tumors of the Achilles tendon.
