Abstract

Ankle is one of the most complex human joints and is vulnerable to injury (1, 2). Imaging numerous ligaments and tendons that run in various planes is sometimes challenging. To overcome this problems, three-dimensional (3D) acquisition magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques, that allows multiplanar reconstruction and reduces partial-volume INTRODUCTION �Received; March 15, 2013�Revised; April 17, 2013 �Accepted; May 3, 2013 This research was supported by Basic Science Research Program through the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) funded by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (2012R1A1A2007991).
