Test Preparation
Preparation is minimal and simple.
General Preparation:
• No fasting or special medication adjustments are needed.
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your foot.
• Remove footwear and socks, and also any metal objects like anklets or toe rings.
• Inform the radiology staff if you are pregnant or might be pregnant.
On the Day of the Test:
• You may be asked to lie down, sit, or kneel on a special platform.
• Your right foot will be positioned in a way that allows the X-ray beam to pass from the back of the heel forward, along the length of the foot.
• You’ll need to remain very still during the image capture to avoid blurring.
• The procedure is quick and painless, typically done in a few minutes.
