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.
