FAQs

What is an X-Ray Left Heel AP?

X-Ray Left Heel AP is a diagnostic imaging examination that captures a front-view (Anteroposterior or AP) image of the left heel using low-dose X-ray radiation.

Why is this X-ray performed?

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

Which structures are examined during the test?

The examination visualizes the calcaneus (heel bone), talus, subtalar joint, surrounding tarsal bones, and adjacent bony structures.

Why is the AP view important?

The AP view helps assess bone alignment, joint spaces, fractures, bone deformities, and the overall anatomy of the heel from the front.

Can this X-ray detect a heel fracture?

Yes. It is commonly used to identify fractures of the calcaneus (heel bone) and other nearby bones, particularly after injury or trauma.
