X-RAY BOTH FEET AP & LATERAL

This examination is commonly performed to evaluate foot pain, trauma, suspected fractures, arthritis, stress fractures, foot deformities, bone infections, bone lesions, congenital abnormalities, degenerative changes, and other disorders affecting one or both feet.

The AP view provides a front view of the foot, showing the alignment of the toes, metatarsals, and joint spaces. The Lateral view provides a side view, allowing detailed evaluation of the foot arches, heel bone (calcaneus), midfoot, bone alignment, and joint relationships.

The examination evaluates the tarsal bones, metatarsals, phalanges (toe bones), calcaneus (heel bone), talus, foot joints, arches, and surrounding bony structures.

Yes. This examination is commonly used to identify fractures of the toes, metatarsals, tarsal bones, calcaneus, and other bones of the feet, including stress fractures in many cases.

Imaging both feet allows doctors to compare the right and left feet, evaluate bilateral conditions, and identify subtle differences in bone structure or joint alignment.
