  Heel pain, tendonitis, tarsal tunnel syndrome, and other foot and ankle ailments can negatively affect your quality of life. When you call the friendly podiatrists at The Foot & Ankle Center with these concerns, we may suggest using diagnostic ultrasound to uncover the problem.

• X-Rays
• Computed Tomography
  Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a sophisticated piece of equipment that produces incredibly accurate 3-D images of your feet and ankles. A combination of large magnet and radio waves safely creates these images, which portray the bones and soft tissues of the afflicted area. Unlike X-rays and CT scans, MRI uses no radiation while it diagnoses a variety of ailments including arthritis, fractures, infections, tumors, and injuries of the tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.
