Frequently Asked Questions

It is typically performed to diagnose conditions like heel fractures, arthritis, heel spurs, tendinitis, and other pathologies affecting the calcaneus (heel bone) and surrounding structures.

The radiation used in a standard X-ray is minimal, and the risk is generally low. However, it is important to inform the healthcare provider if you are pregnant or may be pregnant.

X-rays primarily focus on bone structures. While they can show signs of bone changes related to soft tissue conditions (e.g., calcifications or bony spurs), they are not ideal for visualizing soft tissues like ligaments and tendons. For soft tissue evaluation, an MRI or ultrasound may be recommended.

Conditions such as bone fractures, joint degeneration (e.g., arthritis), plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon issues, bone infections, and tumors can be identified using these X-rays.
