                   A  standard  radiographic  examination of  the
                   foot usually includes at least five radiographs,   •  Dorso 45º lateral-palmaromedial oblique
                   although this may vary depending on the sus-      (D45L-PaMO) and dorso 45º medial-pal-
                   pected disease:                                   marolateral oblique (D45M-PaLO).

                   •  Lateromedial (LM)                            Note: when radiographs of the hind foot are
                   •  Dorsopalmar (DPa)                            obtained, the term palmar should be changed
                   •  Dorsoproximal-palmarodistal oblique (DPr-    to plantar.
                      PaDiO) for the distal phalanx and sole

                      PaDiO) for the navicular bone
                   •  Palmaroproximal-palmarodistal oblique
                      (PaPr-PaDiO) or ‘skyline’ view of the navicu-
