Structures Shown

Foot – AP and AP Axial Projection Dorsoplantar Projection

Entire foot should be demonstrated, including all phalanges and metatarsals and navicular, cuneiforms, and cuboids

Foot – AP Oblique Projection (Medial Rotation)

Entire foot should be demonstrated from distal phalanges to posterior calcaneus and proximal talus

Foot – AP Oblique Projection (Lateral Rotation)

• Entire foot should be demonstrated from distal phalanges to posterior calcaneus and proximal talus

• A lateral oblique best demonstrates the space between first and second metatarsals and between first and second cuneiforms.

Foot – Lateral Rotation (Mediolateral/lateromedial Projection)

Entire foot should be demonstrated, with a minimum of 1 inch (2.5 cm) of distal tibia-fibula. Heads of metatarsals are superimposed with the tuberosity of the fifth metatarsal seen in profile
