This text introduces the principles of radiographic interpretation, including reading plain film X-rays and identifying common podiatric pathologies like fractures, arthritis, and foreign bodies. Techniques for positioning, image quality assessment, and radiation safety are covered. The book also discusses the use of advanced imaging modalities such as ultrasound and MRI in diagnosing soft tissue conditions. Emphasis is placed on correlating clinical signs with radiological findings. Basic reporting skills are cultivated through guided examples.
