Disorders of the foot are a common and disabling problem among diabetic patients. Often the most difficult problem radiographically is to differentiate infection from neuropathic change. This article reviews the radiographic features and imaging approach to patients with diabetic foot disorders, with specific reference to both conventional and advanced imaging modalities.
