This study was performed to visualize the entheses of
the foot at 3T and 11.7T utilizing 2D and 3D images. The
contrast and quality of the MR images obtained have
never been shown before. These include the Achilles
tendon, tibialis posterior tendon at the level of the
medial malleolus and at the navicular insertion, central
slip of the extensor tendon of the toes, collateral
ligaments, and plantar plate. We also demonstrate
collagen fiber structure which has not previously been
described, including perpendicular fibers at functional
entheses.
