US and MRI of the Forefoot: Intermetatarsal Bursitis or Morton's Neuroma
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
MRI with contrast: MRI of the forefoot with contrast (Gadovist)
Ultrasound: Ultrasound imaging of the forefoot
Study summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence of intermetatarsal bursitis and Morton's neuroma in patients with metatarsalgia (i.e. pain in the forefoot) and control subjects by diagnostic imaging with ultrasound and MRI.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Incidence of intermetatarsal bursitis on MRI — 8 weeks
High intensity on T2 weighted images, low signal on T1. Thin peripheral enhancement on T1 contrast enhanced pictures. - Incidence of intermetatarsal bursitis on US — 8 weeks
Hypoechoic mass between metatarsal heads closest to dorsal surface of foot. Compressible. Activity on power/color doppler. - Incidence of Morton's neuroma on MRI — 8 weeks
Low to Intermediate signal in T1 and T2. Contrast enhancement of the nodular focus. - Incidence of Morton's neuroma on US — 8 weeks
Hypoechoic mass between metatarsal heads closest to plantar surface of foot. Non-compressible. The interdigital nerve can be seen entering the mass. Close relation to the interdigital artery. - Incidence of other pathology on MRI — 8 weeks
Other pathology than intermetatarsal bursitis or Morton's neuroma. - Incidence of other pathology on US — 8 weeks
Other pathology than intermetatarsal bursitis or Morton's neuroma. - Incidence of normal findings on MRI — 8 weeks
When no findings is observed. - Incidence of normal findings on US — 8 weeks
When no findings is observed.
