Intra Condular projections on request Patella - Tibia and Fibula - AP and Lateral Ankle - AP/Mortice and Lateral Calcaneum - Axial and Lateral Foot / Toes - Dorsoplantar, Oblique and Lateral. Certain suspected conditions require specific projections. For example, skeletal signs of rickets are seen predominantly at sites of rapid growth, including the proximal humerus, distal radius, distal femur and both the proximal and the distal tibia. Therefore, a skeletal survey for rickets can be accomplished with anteroposterior radiographs of the knees, wrists, and ankles. General disease mimics Radiological disease mimics are visual artifacts, normal anatomic structures or harmless variants that may simulate diseases or abnormalities. In projectional radiography, general disease mimics include jewelry, clothes and skin folds. In general medicine a disease mimic shows symptoms and/or signs like those of another.
