Why X-Ray Heel Lateral View Is Important
The X-Ray Heel Lateral View is important because it provides a clear side-angle image of the heel bone, revealing conditions that may not be visible in standard foot X-rays. It allows doctors to detect:
-
Calcaneal fractures
-
Heel spur formation
-
Plantar fasciitis-related changes
-
Bone infections (osteomyelitis)
-
Degenerative joint disease
-
Bone alignment abnormalities
At Diagnopein Nashik, this test is performed with minimal radiation exposure and high diagnostic accuracy. The heel lateral X-ray is especially important for athletes, elderly patients, and individuals with long-standing heel pain, ensuring timely medical intervention.
