Overview
MRI can successfully diagnose and assess the location, size, and soft tissue abnormalities associated with Morton's neuroma. As there's a 26% chance of morton's neuroma recurrence after surgery, hence, post-operative MR imaging can help rule out any recurrence. Morton's neuroma-like abnormalities are seen in asymptomatic and symptomatic intermetatarsal spaces on MRI after the resection of morton's neuroma. There's a significant difference in the appearance of morton's neuroma on MRI done in different positions such as prone, supine, or weight-bearing, with the morton's neuroma being best visible in the prone position.

- MRI can successfully diagnose and assess the following associated with Morton's neuroma:[1][2][3][4][5][6]
- As there's a 26% chance of morton's neuroma recurrence after surgery, hence, post-operative MR imaging can help rule out any recurrence[7]
- Morton's neuroma-like abnormalities are seen in asymptomatic and symptomatic intermetatarsal spaces on MRI after the resection of morton's neuroma[8]
- There's a significant difference in the appearance of morton's neuroma on MRI done in different positions such as prone, supine, or weight-bearing, with the morton's neuroma being best visible in the prone position[9]
