Ankle Radiograph Results Template

An ankle radiograph, or X-ray, is primarily used to detect fractures, assess joint alignment, and identify signs of arthritis or other bone conditions in the ankle.

Generally, no special preparation is required for an ankle radiograph. You may be asked to remove jewelry or any metal objects that could interfere with the image clarity.

Ankle radiographs involve a very low dose of radiation, making them safe for most people. However, pregnant women should inform their doctor as radiation can pose risks to the developing fetus.
