In this work we leverage a specially designed MR-compatible tracking system to track the unconstrained and unloaded motion of the fore-foot. Using a CINE sequence we collect 2D slices of the ankle during foot motion. Tracking data coupled with the image timestamps allows us to retrospectively sort the images to produce a number of 3D image stacks. These image stacks represent consistent 3D volumes at given points in the foot trajectory. We use the motion-sequences created using this technique to investigate tibiotalar impingement.
