Additional Exposure X-Ray Scan

A Foot Medial Oblique View X-Ray is a simple imaging test that shows the bones of your foot from a specific 30–45° angle. It helps doctors spot hidden fractures, joint issues, or arthritis that a standard front view might miss. At Cadabams Diagnostics, we use low-dose digital X-Ray machines to deliver sharp images with minimal radiation.

The medial oblique foot X-Ray rotates your foot inward, giving a side-angled picture of:

• Metatarsals
• Tarsals
• Phalanges
• Mid-foot joints This XR – FOOT AP & OBLIQUE combo is often requested together to ensure nothing is overlooked.

• Rule out metatarsal fractures
• Monitor arthritis progression
• Check for dislocations
• Evaluate foreign bodies (glass, metal)
• Assess bone healing post-surgery

• Quick: 5–10 minutes, instant digital results
• Non-invasive: No injections or dyes
• Accurate: Detects hairline cracks missed clinically
• Cost-effective: Cheaper than CT or MRI
• Convenient: Walk-in slots at Cadabams Diagnostics

• Radiation exposure: Very low—equivalent to a few days of natural background radiation.
• Soft-tissue detail: X-Ray shows bone best; ligament or tendon tears may need MRI.
• Positioning: Poor foot rotation can blur the image—our technologists guide you step-by-step.

• Metatarsal stress fracture
• Osteoarthritis of mid-foot
• Lisfranc injury
• Gouty tophi (bone erosions)
• Bone cysts or tumors

• Fracture healing assessment—callus formation and alignment.
• Pneumonia progression—comparing infiltrates over days.
• Orthopedic implant positioning—screws, plates, and joint replacements. —--

• Wear loose clothing; shorts or rolled-up trousers are ideal.
• Remove jewelry from ankles and feet.
• Inform staff if you’re pregnant or have metal implants.

• Doctor’s prescription (hard copy or digital accepted)
• Valid ID for registration
• Previous X-Ray films, if any, for comparison

• Soon after injury (within 24–48 hours) for acute pain
• Morning slots to avoid swelling-related blurring
• Pre-surgery work-up as advised by orthopedics

• Age: All ages—from kids (parental consent) to seniors
• Weight-bearing: Non-weight-bearing version available for severe pain
• Pregnancy: Shielding provided after risk assessment

1. Check-in at reception—queue token issued.
2. Change into a gown if clothing has metal.
3. Positioning: Lie or sit on the X-Ray table. The technologist rotates your foot inward, supports it with a sponge, and asks you to stay still.
4. Image capture: Two clicks—one AP and one oblique—takes under 2 minutes each.
5. Verification: Preview on-screen ensures clarity before you leave.

• Avoid applying talcum powder or ointment—it can mimic calcifications.
• Skip tight bandages; loosen them to prevent artifacts.
• Bring a helper if balance is an issue. CAUTION BEFORE TALIMG

• Bone alignment and spacing
• Joint surfaces for erosion or spurs
• Fracture lines or cortical breaks
• Soft-tissue swelling as an indirect sign
• Implant position (if post-surgery)
