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.

- Injury following a fall from height or accident
- Suspected calcaneal fracture
