Abstract

Background: Achilles tendon (AT) disorders are common across athletic and general populations and span aspectrum from paratenon inflammation and mid-portion tendinopathy to insertional disease, degeneration, andpartial or complete tears. Conventional radiography, CT, ultrasound, and routine MR sequences each contributevaluable anatomical information
