General Knowledge: Why Use Ultrasound for the Foot?
Ultrasound is one of the most effective imaging tools for assessing soft tissue structures of the foot, including tendons, ligaments, nerves, and bursae. Unlike X-rays, which primarily show bone, ultrasound excels at visualising inflammation, fluid build-up, neuromas, and soft tissue injuries in real time.
It is especially useful for diagnosing dynamic conditions- such as tendon impingement or plantar fascia strain - as it allows the sonographer to observe structures during movement and under pressure. Ultrasound also plays a key role in monitoring recovery from injuries or post-surgical changes, and is completely radiation-free, making it ideal for repeat use.
