Know more about this test

An X-Ray Right Foot LAT View is a safe and painless test that uses a small amount of radiation to visualise the bones of the foot, including the ankle bones (tarsal bones), the front end of the feet (metatarsal bones), and toes (phalanges), also the soft tissues (skin and muscles) surrounding them.

The test identifies broken/fractured bones in the foot. It monitors their healing after being set and diagnoses any suspected infection, osteoporosis, deformities or aberrant bone development, and arthritis.

The actual radiation exposure period is often less than a second, while the entire test may take between 15-20 minutes. Bones are visible on X-ray images. However, it doesn't show the tendons, muscles, or fat tissue beneath the skin's surface very well.

FAQs related to X - Ray Right Foot LAT View in Greater Noida

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.
