Abstract
Cross-sectional imaging has played an increasingly important role in the evaluation of diabetic foot disease. This article summarizes the utility and limitations of computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in specific situations, with reference to relevant cross-sectional anatomy. Application of these techniques to soft tissue infection, osteomyelitis, and neuroarthropathy is emphasized.
