FAQs

What is an X-Ray Left Foot AP & Lateral?

X-Ray Left Foot AP & Lateral is a diagnostic imaging examination that captures two views of the left foot: a front (AP) view and a side (Lateral) view using low-dose X-ray radiation.

Why is this X-ray performed?

It is performed to evaluate left foot pain, injuries, trauma, suspected fractures, dislocations, arthritis, bone deformities, heel pain, swelling, and other abnormalities affecting the foot.

Which structures are examined during the test?

The examination visualizes the phalanges (toe bones), metatarsals, tarsal bones, calcaneus (heel bone), talus, navicular, cuboid, cuneiform bones, metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints, tarsometatarsal joints, and surrounding bony structures.

Why are both AP and Lateral views important?

Both views provide complementary information, helping detect fractures, dislocations, joint alignment abnormalities, bone deformities, and degenerative changes that may not be fully visible on a single view.

Can this X-ray detect fractures?

Yes. It is commonly used to identify fractures of the toes, metatarsals, tarsal bones, heel bone (calcaneus), and other bones of the foot, especially following injury or trauma.
