What is a X ray Both CALCANEUM LATERAL VIEW Test in Bengaluru ?

What is X ray Both CALCANEUM LATERAL VIEW?

An X-ray lateral view of both calcaneums produces side images of the heel bones. It shows bone shape, cracks, alignment, and hard growths like heel spurs. It is non-invasive and shows internal structures directly, providing information that blood and urine tests cannot.

What does X ray Both CALCANEUM LATERAL VIEW show?

The calcaneus is the large bone that supports body weight and links to the Achilles tendon. Its condition affects walking, balance, and pain in the back of the foot. This X-ray helps find fractures after injury and explains chronic heel pain. It also detects arthritis, bone infection, and some tumors or cysts.

What symptoms suggest X ray Both CALCANEUM LATERAL VIEW may be needed?

A doctor may recommend X ray Both CALCANEUM LATERAL VIEW when a patient reports localised pain, swelling, or injury, a lump or restricted movement, or an abnormal finding on an earlier test that needs to be examined directly. GetVisit makes testing convenient in Bengaluru, with lab slots and home collection in MG Road, Indiranagar, and nearby areas.

How is X ray Both CALCANEUM LATERAL VIEW done?

This is an imaging scan, not a blood or fluid test, so no sample is collected. A qualified radiographer positions you at an accredited GetVisit-partnered imaging centre in MG Road or Indiranagar, Bengaluru and captures the images in a few minutes. A radiologist reviews them and your report is made available through GetVisit.

How accurate is X ray Both CALCANEUM LATERAL VIEW?

GetVisit partners only with accredited imaging centres in and around MG Road, Indiranagar, and Bengaluru that use maintained, calibrated equipment and qualified radiographers. Every scan is interpreted by a qualified radiologist, and reports are accepted by hospital networks, specialists, and insurers across India.

Are there any risks to X ray Both CALCANEUM LATERAL VIEW?

Imaging is safe and non-invasive. Ultrasound and MRI use no ionising radiation; X-ray and CT use carefully controlled low doses justified by the diagnostic benefit. Inform staff at the MG Road or Indiranagar, Bengaluru centre if you are pregnant or have implants or metal devices, so precautions can be taken.

Did you know?

Doctors use this image to confirm a break, decide if surgery or casting is needed, monitor healing over time, and determine if more detailed scans are required.

X ray Both CALCANEUM LATERAL VIEW Test Preparation in Bengaluru

Fasting and dietary instructions:

Most imaging scans need no fasting. Some abdominal ultrasounds require a few hours of fasting or a full bladder, so follow the specific instruction shown when you book, or ask the centre.

Medication guidance:

Frequently asked questions

For any unanswered questions, reach out to our support team via email. We will assist you as soon as possible

What is lateral position for calcaneus X-ray?plus

The lateral position for a calcaneus X‑ray: the patient lies on the affected side with the knee flexed (or supine with the foot turned laterally). The foot is dorsiflexed to 90° so the plantar surface is perpendicular to the image receptor, which is placed against the lateral heel. The X‑ray beam is directed perpendicular to and centered on the calcaneal body/subtalar region.

Can you see a calcaneus fracture on an X-ray?plus

Yes , many calcaneal fractures are visible on plain X‑rays (lateral and axial/Harris views); a reduced Bohler’s angle often suggests injury. Small, intra‑articular or hairline fractures can be occult on X‑ray. If clinical suspicion remains despite a normal radiograph, CT is recommended for higher sensitivity and for detailed assessment of fracture pattern and joint involvement to guide treatment.

What is the centering point for a calcaneus X-ray?plus

The centering point for a calcaneus X‑ray is at the calcaneus, at the level of the subtalar joint (about 1 inch/2.5 cm anterior to the lateral malleolus). For the axial (plantodorsal/Harris) view, angle the central ray approximately 40° cephalad to the long axis of the foot and center on the calcaneus.

Where is the central ray placed for a lateral projection of the lateral calcaneus?plus

For a lateral projection of the calcaneus, the central ray is perpendicular to the calcaneus and centered at the calcaneal tuberosity. Direct the beam to the level of the subtalar joint, entering approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) inferior to the medial malleolus, ensuring the entire calcaneus and subtalar joint are included.

Is X ray Both CALCANEUM LATERAL VIEW safe if I am pregnant?plus

Tell the centre before X ray Both CALCANEUM LATERAL VIEW if you are or might be pregnant. Ultrasound and MRI use no ionising radiation; for X-ray or CT the team will decide the safest approach or suggest an alternative.

How should I prepare for X ray Both CALCANEUM LATERAL VIEW?plus

Wear loose clothing without metal fasteners and remove jewellery before X ray Both CALCANEUM LATERAL VIEW. Bring your referral, ID, and any earlier scans so the radiologist can compare.
