[Abstract] Ankle joint is a fairly complicated joint and consistent with multiple bones, ligaments, and tendons. An ankle joint MRI examination usually includes tibiotalar joint, subtalar joint, talonavicular joint, calcaneocuboid joint, intertarsal joints and tarsometatarsal joints. To master the normal MRI cross-sectional anatomy is essential for the interpretation of ankle MRI imaging. In this article, we will describe the normal MRI ankle cross sectional anatomy in coronal plane, sagittal plane, and axial plane separately. On the sagittal plane, we will pay particular attention to the bone structures and tendons anatomy. On the axial lane, we will primarily describe the collateral ligaments and tendon anatomy and the muscles are described in detail in the coronal plane. It is very important to remember that you need to look at each anatomic structure in all three planes and remember their normal appearance, normal anatomical variations.
