  • Title: Computed tomography in tarsal coalition.
    Author: Sarno RC, Carter BL, Bankoff MS, Semine MC.
    Journal: J Comput Assist Tomogr; 1984 Dec; 8(6):1155-60. PubMed ID: 6501623.
    Abstract:
    The limitations of routine radiography of the feet in demonstrating tarsal coalitions are well known. Even with the use of multiple projections of the foot, tarsal coalitions may escape detection. Computed tomographic examinations of the feet were performed in persons suspected of having tarsal coalitions. The CT images were obtained in both the longitudinal and axial axes of the foot. Results of these examinations suggest the longitudinal projection to be most helpful in demonstrating talonavicular coalitions and the axial projection in demonstrating talocalcaneal coalitions. The history, pathology, and other imaging modalities of tarsal coalitions are reviewed.
