Test Preparation
This test is quick and requires minimal preparation.
General Preparation:
• No fasting or medication changes are needed.
• Wear comfortable clothing that allows access to the foot and ankle.
• Remove shoes, socks, and any metal accessories (e.g., anklets, toe rings) near the area.
• Inform the technician if you are pregnant or suspect you might be.
On the Day of the Test:
• You will be asked to sit or lie down, and your right foot will be positioned so that the side (lateral aspect) of the heel is resting on the X-ray plate.
• The technician will guide the exact position and ensure the foot is stable.
• Remain still during the image to avoid blurring.
• The entire process is painless and typically takes just a few minutes.
