At Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, which is an NABL & NABH Accredited Diagnostic Centre, you can get your X-Ray Right Ankle Oblique View service with advanced radiology and diagnostic imaging services. An oblique X-ray view, which will help to look at the shape of the bones, alignment of the joints, and fractures and other abnormalities that may lead to symptoms of ankle pain, swelling, and/or difficulty walking.

About X-Ray Right Ankle Oblique View

X-ray Right Ankle Oblique View is an X-ray image that is taken of the right ankle in an “oblique” position, looking at it sideways. This view is helpful in some circumstances to be able to appreciate some bone changes which may not be appreciated on the normal views. This exam can be taken in conjunction with other views of the ankle X-rays to assist in the evaluation of injuries, joint abnormalities and an evaluation of structural changes in the right ankle.

What is X-Ray Right Ankle Oblique View?

Making an image with X-rays involves a small amount of ionizing radiation to create images of bones and joints. Examination of the ankle will be carried out at an angle (oblique view) and will show the position of certain bones and their relationships at an alternative angle. The photo may help to spot fractures, as well as abnormal shapes or alignment of the bones. The doctor might order further imaging tests or views of the ankles based on the problematic area of clinical concern.

Common Reasons for X-Ray Right Ankle Oblique View

• X-rays of the ankle: May be used to look for a cause of pain that is long-lasting or never-ending that may be caused by a bone problem.
• Suspected Fracture: May assist in detection of fractures that have better visualization when viewed from an angled projection.
• The ankle injury -- the fall, twisting injury, or bodily impact on the bones- is helpful in evaluating the bones.
• Due to swelling and tenderness, it can be determined whether bony abnormalities are present or not.
• Leg Alignment Assessment: Additional X-ray of the alignment of the ankle bones.
• Sports Related Injuries: May be capable of evaluating bone injuries arising out of running, jumping, and avoidance actions.
• Restricted Movement: Allows abnormalities in structures that assist in ankle movement to be evaluated.
• Follow-Up Imaging: May be ordered when a physician feels that the bone may be broken or have a problem in the bone and thinks it would be good to have follow-up imaging.

Conditions Evaluated

Ankle Fractures

This is a view looking askew, and may help to visualize some fractures of the ankle bones. Additional radiology or special tests may be requested if a fracture is felt to be present but cannot be identified in the initial X-rays.

Bone Alignment Abnormalities

The crooked projection (angled) adds information on an abnormal position in comparison to the interaction between some of the ankle bones and can help with diagnosis.

Joint-Surface Abnormalities

The X-ray may show selected bony or joint-surface abnormalities. An oblique ankle view alone cannot diagnose ankylosing spondylitis, which requires clinical assessment and appropriate investigation.

Traumatic Bone Injuries

The oblique view can provide information about the location of the injuries on the bones that are visible from the view if the injury was caused by a fall, twist, or impact.

Degenerative Changes

X-rays may show degenerative changes, such as osteophytes (bone spurs) and joint-space narrowing. They do not directly diagnose ligament or tendon tears.

Other Bony Abnormalities

An exam may reveal a variation in the bone, deformity, or some other abnormality requiring a clinical interpretation or investigation.
