“…It is a flexor of the great toe and assists in plantar flexion of the foot at the ankle. Several studies have confirmed that the FHL tendon sheath communicates with the ankle joint [3][4][5][6]. These have a proximal and distal component, which together make up the synovial sheath of the FHL tendon.…”

In our sample of primarily asymptomatic German runners, the AT diameter was higher than in symptomatic American patients. The diameter did not change during training or after the marathon. Non-finishers with orthopaedic reasons generally had a lesion on MRI in the initial examination. Apart from this, no new lesions to the AT or hindfoot are to be expected during normal training. Adaptive processes seem to be the main effect of this training.

“…Small amounts of fluid within the tenosynovial sleeves is a common finding in asymptomatic patients, and large amounts of fluid are not infrequent, especially involving the flexor hallucis longus, which may communicate with the ankle joint posteriorly in up to 20% of patients. 27 Associated articular fluid is common. The presence and relative amount of tenosynovial fluid are often related to fluid present within adjacent structures.…”

Ankle tendon pathology is relatively common in the active adult population. Magnetic resonance imaging is often the preferred advanced imaging option for the evaluation of tendon pathology of the hindfoot and ankle. The almost linear increase in signal-to-noise ratio provided by higher field strength imaging allows for improved image resolution and decreased scan times. Newer systems with faster gradients allow for optimal fast spin-echo imaging with lower echo spacing for longer echo train lengths and minimal image blurring. The ability to comfortably scan the ankle within the magnet isocenter using high-field strength-compatible extremity coils further maximizes the image resolution. It is imperative for the radiologist to be aware of necessary protocol adjustments and potential imaging artifacts unique to high-field strength imaging of the ankle. Our review outlines high-field strength magnetic resonance imaging technique and artifacts and also details the specifics of our own methods of ankle imaging.
