Achilles Tendon Imaging

Achilles tendon imaging refers to the use of various medical imaging techniques to examine the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. Common methods include ultrasound and MRI. These techniques help diagnose injuries or conditions such as tendonitis, tears, or degeneration. Ultrasound provides real-time images and is often used for guiding injections or assessing injuries, while MRI offers detailed views of both soft tissues and bones. Accurate imaging helps healthcare providers develop effective treatment plans to promote healing and restore function.
