MRI LEFT ANKLE
STUDY PROTOCOL
MR imaging of the left ankle was performed on a Siemens 3.0 Tesla scanner using a dedicated 32-channel
phased-array surface coil. Following sequences were obtained.
FINDINGS
There is evidence of calcific foci at the insertion site of tendoachilles with mild subtle PDFS/ STIR
hyperintense signal changes in the distal tendon. AP diameter of tendoachilles measures approx. 8.4 mm.
Rest of bones under view are apparently normal in contours and marrow signal intensity, with suggestion of
subtle focal fatty changes. No evidence of any articular surface erosion is apparent.
No definite focal osseous or soft tissue lesion is apparent on non-contrast imaging.
Anterior/posterior talo-fibular, calcaneo-fibular and medial deltoid ligament appear normal in MR signal
intensity.
Visualized joint spaces appear relatively preserved.
OPINION: MR findings are suggestive of calcific achilles tendinitis.
ADVISE: CLINICAL CORRELATION.
