Ultrasound imaging of the foot and ankle region within musculoskeletal healthcare is a rapidly developing area of clinical practice. A significantly increasing number of allied health and medical professionals are utilising it to assist differential diagnosis, impact patient pathways and guide procedures.

Developing a core competency in your ability to visualise and interpret common musculoskeletal pathologies of the foot, ankle and lower leg regions is increasingly important from a clinical governance perspective when utilising ultrasound imaging in clinical practice.
