Surgical radiology.
The radiograph plays an important role in the evaluation of the preoperative patient by helping to define existing pathology and by aiding in treatment choice. Many radiographic views have been developed to help assess anatomic features of the foot in health, injury, and disease. Methods of analyzing these images provides the surgeon with the information necessary to establish correct diagnosis and implement appropriate care.
