About X-Ray Left Calcaneum AP & Axial Views
The X-Ray Left Calcaneum AP & Axial Views is an X-Ray that is used to get two views of the left heel bone (calcaneus). The Anteroposterior (AP) view is a frontal view, and the Axial (Plantodorsal) view is a view from below to provide a detailed image of the calcaneus and the surrounding tissues and associated bony landmarks of the heel. Advanced digital radiography systems will provide high-quality images and yield accurate assessment of heel injuries and disorders at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy.
What is an X-Ray Left Calcaneum AP & Axial Views?
An X-ray of the left foot, AP and axial views, is a painless, non-invasive, and fast imaging test to assess the bones of the left foot and ankle from two different angles. The two views allow your doctor to determine the alignment of your bones, screen for fractures, look for an abnormal elevation of the heel (a heel spur), and evaluate abnormalities at the heel or the surrounding joints. This test is often ordered for people who experience heel pain, swelling, trauma, or are unable to put weight on the foot.
Common Reasons for an X-Ray Left Calcaneum AP & Axial Views
Left heel pain
Injury following a fall from height or accident
Suspected calcaneal fracture
Heel swelling or tenderness
Difficulty walking or bearing weight
Evaluation of heel spurs
Follow-up after heel surgery or fracture treatment
Assessment of chronic heel disorders
Conditions Evaluated
Calcaneal Fractures
Detects fractures involving the left heel bone following trauma.

Test information: Fasting NOT needed
Reporting: Within 04 hours*
No fasting or special dietary preparation is required unless specifically advised by your doctor.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the left foot and ankle. Avoid footwear or clothing with metal buckles, zippers, or other metallic components around the examination area.
You may be asked to remove shoes, socks, ankle jewellery, toe rings, braces, or any removable metallic objects before the X-ray.
Inform the radiographer if you are pregnant or suspect pregnancy, as X-rays involve ionising radiation.
Bring your doctor's referral along with any previous X-ray, CT, MRI, or other imaging reports of the foot or ankle for comparison.
Continue taking your regular medications unless your doctor advises otherwise.
Inform the radiographer if you have recently sustained a heel injury, undergone foot or ankle surgery, or have any metal implants in the foot or ankle.
If you have severe heel pain or difficulty standing or positioning your foot, let the staff know before the examination so they can assist you safely.
Arrive at the diagnostic centre 15–20 minutes before your scheduled appointment.
सामान्यतः इस जांच के लिए फास्टिंग या किसी विशेष तैयारी की आवश्यकता नहीं होती है, जब तक डॉक्टर विशेष निर्देश न दें।
ढीले और आरामदायक कपड़े पहनकर आएं ताकि बाएं पैर और एड़ी की जांच आसानी से की जा सके। धातु वाले जूते, बकल, ज़िप या अन्य धातु की वस्तुओं से बचें।
जांच से पहले जूते, मोज़े, पायल, बिछिया, ब्रेस या पैर के आसपास की अन्य धातु की वस्तुएँ हटाने के लिए कहा जा सकता है।
यदि आप गर्भवती हैं या गर्भावस्था की संभावना है, तो जांच से पहले रेडियोग्राफर को इसकी जानकारी अवश्य दें।
अपने डॉक्टर का रेफरल तथा पैर, एड़ी या टखने 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 बाईं एड़ी या टखने में चोट लगी हो, सर्जरी हुई हो या कोई धातु का इम्प्लांट लगा हो, तो इसकी जानकारी रेडियोग्राफर को दें।
यदि एड़ी में अत्यधिक दर्द हो या पैर को सही स्थिति में रखना कठिन हो, 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 either standing, seated, or lying down, depending on the clinical indication and comfort level.
A standard Anteroposterior (AP) View of the left calcaneum (heel bone) is obtained to evaluate the overall anatomy, alignment, and surrounding bony structures.
An Axial (Plantodorsal) View is then performed, with the X-ray beam directed through the heel to provide a detailed assessment of the calcaneus, subtalar joint, and heel alignment.
These complementary views help identify calcaneal fractures, heel spurs, arthritis, bone lesions, congenital abnormalities, and other hindfoot disorders.
You will be asked to remain completely still while each X-ray image is taken to ensure sharp, high-quality images.
Additional X-ray views may be obtained 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*.
