Ultrasound is an excellent tool for evaluating common ankle problems. it is more economical than MRI and its real-time nature helps in correlating the study with the symptomatic area. US can be used in ankle to evaluate tendons (including tears, tendinitis and tenosynovitis), joints, plantar fascia, ligaments, soft tissue masses, ganglion cysts, Morton's neuroma, and to look for foreign bodies. Power Doppler can be used to evaluate blood flow in acute inflammatory process and in reflex sympathetic dystrophy.
超声是评估常见踝关节问题的极佳工具。它比磁共振成像（MRI）更经济，且其实时特性有助于将检查结果与症状区域相关联。超声可用于踝关节，以评估肌腱（包括撕裂、肌腱炎和腱鞘炎）、关节、足底筋膜、韧带、软组织肿块、腱鞘囊肿、莫顿神经瘤，并寻找异物。能量多普勒可用于评估急性炎症过程和反射性交感神经营养不良中的血流情况。
