About MRI Right Heel
A specialized type of MRI known as MRI Right Heel is able to provide detailed imaging of the bony structure that makes up the heel. It can be useful to examine soft tissue and bony conditions when pain or symptoms in the heel persist, and the standard radiographs are inadequate to explain them.
What is MRI Right Heel?
MRI Right Heel applies powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to the patient, leading to high-resolution imaging of the calcaneus and adjoining joints, plantar fascia, Achilles tendon, ligaments, muscle groups, and soft tissues. It may be helpful in identifying an injury, inflammation, bone marrow changes, or abnormalities in the heel area.
Common Reasons for MRI Right Heel
MRI Right Heel may be advised for:
- Persistent or unexplained heel pain
- Suspected stress fracture or bone injury
- Sports-related injuries
- Suspected plantar fascia abnormalities
- Achilles tendon injury or inflammation
- Swelling or tenderness
- Joint or ligament abnormalities
- Suspected infection or inflammation
- Evaluation of soft-tissue abnormalities
- Follow-up of previously diagnosed heel conditions
Conditions Evaluated
Plantar Fascia Abnormalities
MRI can help evaluate thickening, inflammation, partial tears, or other changes involving the plantar fascia.
Achilles Tendon Problems
The examination can assess the Achilles tendon for inflammation, degeneration, partial tears, or other structural abnormalities.
Heel Bone Injuries
MRI provides detailed imaging of the calcaneus and can help detect stress injuries, fractures, and bone marrow changes.
Joint and Ligament Abnormalities
The scan can evaluate the joints and ligaments around the heel for injuries, inflammation, or structural changes.
Soft-Tissue Abnormalities
MRI can identify abnormalities involving muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues surrounding the heel.
Infection and Inflammation
MRI may help detect inflammatory changes or suspected infection involving the heel bone and surrounding soft tissues.
Who Should Consider This MRI?
MRI Right Heel can be used for people with an injury and symptoms, or those with heel pain, swelling, pain that persists, or pain that interferes with walking. It can also be recommended if there is a suspected stress injury, tendon issue, plantar fascia issue, or similar.
