X-ray - Bilateral Foot AP
The X-ray – Bilateral Foot AP is a diagnostic imaging procedure used to examine both feet through an anteroposterior (AP) view. This view provides a clear image of the bones of the feet, including the phalanges, metatarsals, and tarsal bones.
Imaging both feet allows for direct comparison between the right and left sides, which is particularly useful in identifying asymmetry, deformities, subtle fractures, or degenerative changes. The AP view helps assess bone alignment, joint spacing, and structural integrity.
This test is commonly used in cases of foot pain, injury, swelling, deformity, or difficulty in walking. It is helpful in diagnosing fractures, dislocations, arthritis, and conditions such as flat feet or structural abnormalities.
The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and plays an important role in accurate diagnosis and follow-up evaluation.
This test is recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms related to one or both feet.
It is advised in the following cases:
- Foot pain or tenderness
- Injury or trauma to the feet
- Swelling or deformity
- Difficulty in walking or bearing weight
- Suspected fractures or dislocations
- Suspected arthritis or structural abnormalities
- Follow-up evaluation after treatment
