This article explores the etiological factors behind diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) among diabetic patients in the Khorezm region, the role of radiological diagnostic methods in disease detection, and the potential to prevent amputations through early diagnosis. A retrospective analysis was conducted on medical records of 118 DFS patients observed between 2021 and 2023 at two major regional medical institutions. The study confirmed the high sensitivity of tomographic methods such as MRI and CT in early diagnosis. Furthermore, the article presents prevention strategies and provides recommendations for improving regional healthcare protocols for DFS.
