[Abstract] Because of its superior soft-tissue contrast resolution and direct multiphanar, multipramater imaging capability, magnetic resonance imaging has become the modality of choice for evaluating soft-tissue diseases. The common soft tissue masses of the foot have their own characteristics on MRI signal intensity, morphology, or location. Recognizing these features and combining them with clinical findings in the comprehensive analysis is helpful in reaching correct diagnoses for these lesions.
