What is X - Ray Left Ankle - AP & Lateral Views in Ahmedabad?

X-Ray Left Ankle AP & Lateral Views test a painless and safe imaging technique used to visualize the left ankle bones like tibia and fibula (the lower leg bones). X-ray tests use a small amount of ionizing radiation to produce an image of the bones and soft tissues. Dense structures such as bones appear white, while soft tissues appear dark in color.
