Book the X Ray Both Heel (Calcaneum) Lateral View at an NABL and NABH-accredited diagnostics centre, Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, with a wide range of advanced services in the field of Radiology and Pathology. SOTK generates sophisticated digital X-rays for comprehensive two-dimensional views on both sides of the heel bones (calcanei), into which doctors can insert “magic” software to evaluate the nature of the heel and hindfoot injury, including fractures, heel spurs, arthritis, bone deformities and more. Our highly trained radiologists deliver quality imaging efficiently and efficiently, using less radiation and providing prompt reports for the proper diagnosis and treatment planning.
About X-Ray Both Heel (Calcaneum) Lateral View
An X-ray Both Heel (Calcaneum) Lateral View is a special type of X-ray image taken of the cat's two heel bones (calcaneums), from the side (lateral). Excellent visualization of the calcaneus, subtalar joint, insertion of the Achilles tendon, and surrounding bony structures is obtained by the lateral projection. The imaging of both heels also allows doctors to gain a better perspective by comparing the affected heel with its fellow on the other side of the body. At Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, we are equipped with a sophisticated digital radiography system that produces a very high-resolution image that will provide a more accurate assessment of heel pain and injuries.
What is an X-Ray Both Heel (Calcaneum) Lateral View?
An X-ray Both Heel (Calcaneum) Lateral View is a non-invasive, painless, fast imaging test to assess both heel bones from the side. It aids in the evaluation of the integrity, alignment, joint spaces, and bony abnormalities of the calcaneus and surrounding joints. The foot examination is often performed when a person complains of heel pain, trauma, swelling, or has difficulty walking.

Bring your doctor's referral along with any previous X-ray, CT, MRI, or foot imaging reports for comparison.
Continue taking your regular medications unless your doctor advises otherwise.
Inform the radiographer if you have recently experienced a heel injury, fracture, surgery, implanted metal hardware, or persistent heel pain and swelling.
If you are unable to stand or bear weight on your heels because of pain, inform the staff before the examination so suitable positioning can be arranged.

सामान्यतः इस जांच के लिए फास्टिंग की आवश्यकता नहीं होती है, जब तक डॉक्टर विशेष निर्देश न दें।
ढीले और आरामदायक कपड़े पहनकर आएं तथा पैरों के आसपास धातु वाले जूते, मोज़े, पायल, बिछिया या अन्य धातु की वस्तुएँ न पहनें।
जांच से पहले दोनों पैरों से जूते, मोज़े, पायल, बिछिया तथा अन्य धातु की वस्तुएँ हटाने के लिए कहा जाएगा।
यदि आप गर्भवती हैं या गर्भावस्था की संभावना है, तो जांच से पहले रेडियोग्राफर को इसकी जानकारी अवश्य दें।
अपने डॉक्टर का रेफरल तथा एड़ी या 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 एड़ी में चोट, फ्रैक्चर, सर्जरी, धातु का इम्प्लांट या लगातार दर्द एवं सूजन रही हो, तो इसकी जानकारी रेडियोग्राफर को दें।
यदि दर्द के कारण आपको खड़े होने या एड़ी 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 indication and the radiologist's instructions.
A Lateral (side) View of both calcanei (heel bones) is obtained to evaluate the calcaneus, subtalar joints, Achilles tendon insertion, hindfoot alignment, and surrounding bony structures.
Imaging both heels allows the radiologist to compare the affected heel with the opposite side, helping detect calcaneal fractures, heel spurs, arthritis, bone deformities, and other musculoskeletal abnormalities.
You will be asked to keep your feet completely still while each X-ray image is taken to ensure clear, high-quality images.
Additional X-ray views may be obtained if required for a more detailed 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.
