(b) Corresponding coronal fat-saturated T2-weighted MR image through the talus shows normal subchondral signal intensity across the talar dome (arrows) and high signal intensity throughout the talar body. (c) Coronal follow-up CT scan obtained 5 months later shows a region of subchondral sclerosis (arrows) that is unchanged from the corresponding area seen in a.
