472_mri_vs_ultrasound_which_is_better_for_plantar_fasciosis_or_partial_rupture

A doctor at a medical conference asked me a great question! 

I was giving a lecture at the International Foot and Ankle Foundation meeting in Hawaii on runners heel pain, specifically about the, what we call the differential diagnosis or the things that can cause runners heel pain. 

In that talk I was also teaching about the differences in treatments between runners like us, and non-runner patients with heel pain.

At the end of that lecture a doctor wanted to know which kind of imaging study was better for a runner with a suspected small tear in the plantar fascia ligament. 

Today on the Doc on the Run Podcast, we're talking about MRI vs Ultrasound. Which is better for Plantar Fasciosis or Partial Rupture in a runner?
