Kamala harris personal. Optimal axial imaging may then be obtained. The patient stands on the cassette and the x ray beam is angled between 35 and 45 degrees. With the surgeon standing in the center of the c the base of the c arm is advanced towards the posterior of the patient until the heel is adjacent to the x ray source.

The c arm may be kept parallel with the floor but repositioned perpendicular to the harris axial view to obtain an ap view of the foot. The calcaneus axial view is part of the two view calcaneus series assessing the talocalcaneal joint and plantar aspects of the calcaneus. This view is taken by returning the foot to its resting position lateral side pointing upward and then tilting the entire c arm sideways so that the image source is at the foot of the table and the image intensifier is just behind the buttock or upper thigh.

With the surgeon standing in the center of the c the base of the c arm is advanced towards the posterior of the patient until the heel is adjacent to the x ray source. Broden views permit subtalar articular assessment. As technology advances computed tomography ct has widely been used 1 to better visualize and characterize calcaneum fragment displacements and fracture lines.

To obtain the harris view the c arm is rotated such that the beam is oriented parallel to the floor. Optimal axial imaging may then be obtained. C arm from contralateral end of bed at 200 to get harris heel view with foot dorsiflexed positioning.

Both the x ray source and the image intensifier of a standard c arm are sterilely draped. The harris projection also called the penetrated axial projection is a special radiographic view that is used for assessment of talocalcaneal coalition. To obtain the harris view the c arm is rotated such that the beam is oriented parallel to the floor.
