About X-Ray Both Foot Lateral View
This is a specialized X-ray imaging technique that obtains images of the lateral (side) view of both feet. This view is very good for viewing the tarsal bones, metatarsals, phalanges, calcaneus (heel bone), and foot arches. When imaging both feet, doctors can typically compare the injured foot to the unaffected foot, making it easier for them to determine if there are any subtle differences or abnormalities in the foot. Advanced digital radiography systems are employed for Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy to provide high-resolution images for precise evaluation of foot injuries and disorders affecting the musculoskeletal system.
What is an X-Ray Both Foot Lateral View?
An X-ray Both Foot Lateral View is a painless, non-invasive image-taking procedure that takes X-rays of both feet laterally (on the side) to give a quick look at the bones and joints. The lateral view is useful in assessing osteologic patterns, foot arches, joint space, fractures, and degenerative changes not well demonstrated in frontal views. People who have pain, swelling, injury, or trouble walking in their feet are often examined for this condition.

अपने डॉक्टर का रेफरल तथा पैरों से संबंधित सभी पुरानी एक्स-रे, सीटी, एमआरआई या अन्य जांच रिपोर्टें साथ लेकर आएं।
डॉक्टर की सलाह के अनुसार अपनी नियमित दवाइयाँ लेते रहें।
यदि हाल ही में पैर में चोट, फ्रैक्चर, सर्जरी, धातु का इम्प्लांट या लगातार दर्द या सूजन रही हो, तो इसकी जानकारी रेडियोग्राफर को दें।
यदि दर्द के कारण आपको खड़े होने या पैरों पर वजन डालने में कठिनाई होती है, तो जांच से पहले स्टाफ को अवश्य बताएं।
पंजीकरण और तैयारी के लिए निर्धारित समय से 15–20 मिनट पहले केंद्र पर पहुंचें।
The patient is positioned standing, sitting, or lying on the X-ray table, depending on the clinical condition and the radiologist's instructions.
A Lateral (side) View of both feet is obtained to evaluate the tarsal bones, metatarsals, phalanges, calcaneus (heel bone), foot arches, joint spaces, and overall bone alignment.
Imaging both feet allows the radiologist to compare the affected foot with the opposite side, helping identify fractures, arthritis, bone deformities, joint abnormalities, and other musculoskeletal conditions.
You will be asked to keep your feet completely still while each X-ray image is taken to ensure high-quality images.
Additional X-ray views may be performed if required for a more comprehensive evaluation.
The examination is quick, painless, non-invasive, and does not require contrast material.
The procedure usually takes 10–15 minutes.
Reports are generally available within 04 hours*.
The film of the X-ray is usually provided within 30 minutes of the scan.
