Know more about this test

The X - Ray Left Foot AP Oblique View is a painless procedure that uses a tiny level of radiation to visualize the joints of the foot. This includes the tarsal bones and the metatarsal bones, present at the front of the feet, and phalanges, present in the toes and the soft tissues of skin and muscles around it.

Dense structures, such as bones, seem white, whereas softer body components, including muscle, appear darker. Even though the test might take 15-20 minutes, the exposure to radiation period is generally as little as a second. The test is done to diagnose fractures in bones, infections, or osteoporosis. Patients suffering from such problems should wear protective shoes that have better paddings.

FAQs related to X - Ray Left Foot AP Oblique View

What are the drawbacks of a bone X-ray?

X-ray images give a very clear view of the bones. However, it does not provide a good visual image of the soft tissues like tendons, muscles or fat tissue under the skin. Even the bone microfractures or complicated spine injuries are not clearly visible on the X Ray images. Apart from this, it also exposes the patient to some amount of radiations but the benefit of the information gained from an X-ray image outweighs the risk of radiations.

Who interprets the X-ray results?

The interpretation of an X-Ray image is carried out by a radiologist who analyses or reads the X-ray image and prepares a report of the findings which is shared with the patient.
