To take an X-ray of the foot and ankle, the patient is positioned comfortably, often sitting or lying down. The technician will align the foot and ankle in specific positions to capture different views, typically including an AP (anteroposterior), lateral, and oblique views. The X-ray machine is then activated to capture images while ensuring the patient remains still to avoid blurring. Protective lead aprons may be used to shield other parts of the body from radiation.
