Test Criteria

Calcaneus (bone of the heel) LAT view x-ray is part of the two-view calcaneus series. The projection is used to evaluate the calcaneus, talonavicular, talonavicular, and talonavicular joints. A beam of radiation is sent through the heel during the scanning procedure, and all pictures are captured on the screen. If you have significant heel pain, redness, or swelling in your heel, your doctor may order an X-ray of both Calcaneus in lateral view to determine the reason.
