Digital X-rays are radiographic images used to identify injury, deformity, and disease affecting the bones and soft tissues of the body. At Alpine Foot Specialists in Lake Zurich IL, we offer in-office digital X-rays to provide immediate imaging and faster diagnoses for our patients. These images are also used to compare pre-operative and post-operative results and to monitor healing after surgery or fractures
While digital X-rays are excellent for evaluating bone structure and many foot and ankle problems, they are less effective for diagnosing soft tissue conditions involving cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. In these cases, your podiatrist may recommend an MRI for more detailed imaging.
