About X-Ray Both Calcaneum (Heel) Lateral View
An X-ray Both Calcaneum (Heel) Lateral View is a specific type of digital X-ray imaging procedure that provides a side view (lateral view) of both heel bones (calcanei). This is the largest bone of the foot, essential for weight-bearing, walking, running, and balancing. In the lateral projection, the subtalar joint, bones associated with the subtalar joint, the plantar aspect, and the attachment of the Achilles tendon to the calcaneus will be shown. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy is equipped with state-of-the-art technology called digital radiography, which ensures high-quality imaging of any heel injury or foot disorder.
What is an X-Ray Calcaneum (Heel) Lateral View?
X-Ray Calcaneum (Heel) Lateral View is a fast and non-invasive radiological examination process that looks at the two heel bones from the lateral side (the side view). This is a painless test process and helps to determine the state of the joints and any abnormalities in the heel bone itself. The check-up is often suggested for patients who may be suffering from heel pain, trauma, or walking difficulties and/or are suspected of having an injury to the heel.
