nondisplaced physeal separations may reveal no fracture lucency. The clinical signs and localized soft tissue swelling on the x-ray should be sufficient to lead to the correct diagnosis. On occasion, there may be widening of the physis when comparison is made with x-rays of the uninjured ankl...
Tibiafibulax-ray: AP andlateralviews to evaluate for pilon orMaisonneuve fracture Advanced imaging[1] CT: may be obtained for inconclusivex-raysor preoperative planning MRI: may be indicated for diagnosis of associatedtendon/ligament injuries
an mri of my right foot (2 weeks ago), two sets of x-rays of my left foot, and an mri of my left foot (back in early November). I have a CT scan of my right foot scheduled for 1/10. I'm wondering if this will really show anything different/is worth the extra radiation?
X-rays are the first line of investigation to assess ankle injury. Obtaining X-rays should not delay the urgent reduction of the clinically obvious deformed ankle. Recommended X-rays views to assess ankle injuries include; anteroposterior, lateral, and Mortise views. Anteroposterior (AP) ankle view...

Dorsoplantar and lateral view foot x-rays were taken and scored for presence of osteoarthritis by a Podiatrist using the Australian Foot Atlas criteria. The atlas scores five joints: first metatarsophalangeal joint, first cuneometatarsal joint, second cuneometatarsal joint, Navicular first cuneiform ...
As a general orientation, SPECT/CT might be performed in symptomatic patients more than 1 year after arthrodesis, if conventional X-rays are inconclusive. With this approach and without clinical suspicion for infection, false positives could be avoided, and failure of arthrodesis and/or development ...
When the diagnosis is still unclear, obtain standard x-rays of the area. A directed evaluation to probe the region is appropriate. This can mean a bone scan to detect early avascular necrosis, stress fractures or ; an EMG-to assess the neural circuitry; and special x-ray views, CAT scan...
inclination of the x-ray beam at 5 degrees. Exposure was 80 KV and 500 mA for an exposure time of 20 msec. An x-ray filter was positioned on the source of the x-rays to regulate the exposure (i.e. darkness) from the tibia to the metatarsal bones and to image the hindfoot ...
