FAQs

What is an X-Ray Left Heel Lateral?

X-Ray Left Heel Lateral is a diagnostic imaging examination that captures a side-view (Lateral) 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, plantar fasciitis-related bony changes, and other abnormalities affecting the heel.

Which structures are examined during the test?

The examination visualizes the calcaneus (heel bone), subtalar joint, talus, Achilles tendon insertion site, plantar aspect of the heel, and surrounding bony structures.

Why is the lateral view important?

The lateral view provides a detailed profile of the heel, helping detect fractures, heel spurs, bone alignment abnormalities, and degenerative changes that may not be fully visible on other views.
