Difference of lateral and axial position of calcaneus

Different definitions and different locations.

1, different definitions: the lateral calcaneus position is a photographic position to observe the lateral calcaneus shape, bone structure and axial soft tissue lesions. Axis position is the photographing position of the azimuth image where the long axis of the object is perpendicular to the X-ray.

2. Different postures: The lateral position of calcaneus is a photographic position with calcaneus lying flat on the photographic table, legs flexed, feet in medial and lateral positions, the plantar surface perpendicular to the detector, and the midline aligned with the detector 3.5cm below the medial malleolus. Axis position is an azimuth image in which the long axis of the object is perpendicular to the X-ray.
