Positioning for axial calcaneum projection. https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781315382210/8ca82e7c-bd07-4171-b4f5-ebaded57b5b3/content/fig2_6a.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
The patient sits or lies supine on the X-ray table with both limbs extended.
The affected leg is rotated medially until both malleoli are equidistant from the receptor.
The ankle is dorsiflexed.
The position is maintained using a bandage strapped around the forefoot and held in position by the patient.
The receptor is positioned with its lower edge just distal to the plantar aspect of the heel.
