About X-ray of Both Heels in Lateral View
Medifyhome provides X-Ray Both Heel Lat View at affordable costs with high-quality facilities. An X-ray of Both Heels Lateral View is a specialized diagnostic imaging procedure that provides a detailed side-view image of both heels, capturing the bones, joints, and surrounding soft tissues with high clarity. This imaging test is commonly recommended for individuals experiencing heel pain, injuries, or suspected bone abnormalities.
The lateral view is particularly useful for evaluating conditions such as fractures, heel spurs, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon disorders, and bone infections. Since the heel bears the body’s weight and plays a crucial role in movement and posture, any discomfort or structural abnormalities in this area can significantly impact daily activities. One of the key advantages of this test is its non-invasive and painless nature, requiring only a small dose of radiation to produce high-resolution images for accurate diagnosis. We collaborate with NABL and NABH-certified diagnostic imaging centers to offer cost-effective yet high-quality X-ray tests.
