About X-Ray Left Ankle AP & Lateral Views
An X-Ray Left Ankle AP & Lateral Views is a special X-ray of the left ankle joint (viewed from two directions). The Anteroposterior (AP) view is taken as a frontal view, and the Lateral view is for a side profile. These views allow for a thorough assessment of the distal tibia, distal fibula, talus, ankle joint space, and surrounding bone. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy uses cutting-edge digital radiology technology to capture detailed pictures to get a precise identification of injuries being sustained in the ankle and musculoskeletal issues.
What is an X-Ray Left Ankle AP & Lateral Views?
X-ray Left Ankle AP & Lateral Views, or X-ray of the left leg ankle, is an X-ray performed to view the bones and joints of the left ankle. AP and lateral views can be used together to add depth to a doctor's image of the bone alignment, look for fractures, see if a joint has been dislodged, and if the ankle has degenerative or inflammatory (arthritic) problems. This exam may be ordered if you experience pain, swelling, injury, or a problem walking in your ankle.
