MRI of the left foot in a normal patient for comparison. Coronal reformatted T2-WI showing clearly the hyperintense medial plantar veins (arrow) in normal conditions. The veins are surrounded by the m. abductor hallucis (1) medially; the m. quadratus plantae (2) deeply from the veins; and the m. flexor digitorum brevis (3) laterally. The muscle belly of the m. abductor digiti minimi (4) is located at the lateral plantar aspect of the foot.
