What is a X Ray Both Heels Lateral View Test in Bengaluru ?

What is X Ray Both Heels Lateral View?

An X Ray Both Heels Lateral View is an imaging test that takes side pictures of both heel bones. It shows bone shape, alignment, and any breaks or abnormal bony growths. It is non-invasive and shows internal structures directly, providing information that blood and urine tests cannot.

What does X Ray Both Heels Lateral View show?

The calcaneus and nearby joints are visible on the film. This test is important for people with trauma or persistent heel pain. It helps detect fractures, bone spurs, arthritis, infections, and some tumors. Doctors use it to guide treatment, plan surgery, and monitor healing after injury.

What symptoms suggest X Ray Both Heels Lateral View may be needed?

A doctor may recommend X Ray Both Heels 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. Sample collection for Bengaluru is available at labs and at home across Brookfield, Bannerghatta Road, and surrounding neighbourhoods.

How is X Ray Both Heels 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 Brookfield or Bannerghatta Road, 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 Heels Lateral View?

GetVisit partners only with accredited imaging centres in and around Brookfield, Bannerghatta Road, 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 Heels 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 Brookfield or Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru centre if you are pregnant or have implants or metal devices, so precautions can be taken.

Did you know?

Images are quick to take and often compared between both heels to spot subtle differences.

X Ray Both Heels 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:

Continue your regular medication unless told otherwise. Tell the centre if you have diabetes, kidney problems, or allergies, especially if a contrast study is planned.

What to bring:

Bring your doctor's referral, a valid photo ID, your insurance card if using cashless OPD, and any previous scans or reports so the radiologist can compare.

Timing:

Book a slot that suits you at an accredited GetVisit centre in Indiranagar or Sarjapur Road, Bengaluru. Wear loose clothing without metal fasteners, and remove jewellery before the scan.

What is a both heel lateral view X-ray?plus

A both heel lateral view X‑ray is a radiographic examination capturing lateral side images of both calcanei (heels), either separately or as paired lateral exposures. It evaluates calcaneal fractures, bone alignment, posterior tuberosity, subtalar joint space and soft‑tissue outlines. Commonly used after trauma, for chronic heel pain or preoperative assessment; measurements such as Bohler’s angle guide diagnosis and treatment.

What is a both heel lat?plus

A "both heel lateral" (both heel lat) is a lateral X‑ray of both heels taken together. It images the calcaneus and subtalar joint to assess trauma, suspected calcaneal fractures, chronic heel pain, bone spurs or infection. The exam is quick with low radiation; pregnancy precautions apply. CT or MRI may be needed for complex fractures or soft‑tissue evaluation.

What is lateral position for calcaneus X-ray?plus

For a calcaneus lateral X‑ray, the patient lies on the unaffected side with the affected heel against the image receptor. Flex the knee and position the ankle in true lateral (malleoli superimposed) with the foot dorsiflexed to 90°. Center the beam horizontally to the calcaneus (about the subtalar joint, ~1 cm distal to the medial malleolus) to include the entire calcaneus and subtalar joint.

What is the lateral aspect of the heel?plus

The lateral aspect of the heel is the outer side of the posterior foot, away from the midline. It includes the lateral surface of the calcaneus, peroneal tendon sheath, lateral plantar fascia, and nearby nerves and bursae. This region contributes to foot stability, weight-bearing and shock absorption and is commonly involved in conditions such as peroneal tendinopathy, lateral calcaneal bursitis, and lateral plantar nerve irritation.

How should I prepare for X Ray Both Heels Lateral View?plus

Wear loose clothing without metal fasteners and remove jewellery before X Ray Both Heels Lateral View. Bring your referral, ID, and any earlier scans so the radiologist can compare.

Do I need to fast before X Ray Both Heels Lateral View?plus

Most scans need no fasting, but some abdominal ultrasounds require a few hours without food or a full bladder. Follow the specific instruction shown when you book X Ray Both Heels Lateral View, or check with the centre.
