Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund

Entzündliche Veränderungen des Fußes sind vergleichsweise selten und können besonders bei bereits vorgeschädigtem Fußskelett eine differenzialdiagnostische Herausforderung für den Radiologen darstellen. Die Erhebung der Anamnese und der Einsatz kontrastmittelgestützter MRT-Diagnostik sind daher häufig bei der Diagnosefindung existenziell.

Ziel der Arbeit

Diese Arbeit gibt eine kursorische Übersicht über die bildmorphologischen Charakteristika entzündlicher Veränderungen am Fußskelett und deren Differenzialdiagnosen. Ein Fokus liegt dabei auf Osteomyelitiden, Gelenkinfektionen, rheumatologischen Erkrankungen sowie entzündlichen Veränderungen des Sehnen- und Weichteilapparats.

Abstract

Background

Inflammatory changes of the foot are comparatively rare and can be a challenge for radiologists with respect to the differential diagnosis, especially in cases with pre-existing degenerative changes of the foot skeleton. Comprehensive anamnesis and the use of contrast-enhanced MRI diagnostics are therefore often essential for diagnosis.

Objectives

This review provides a cursory overview of the morphological characteristics of inflammatory changes of the foot and their differential diagnoses with a focus on osteomyelitis, joint infections, rheumatological diseases and tenosynovitis.
