X-Ray Knee Skyline View
Are you seeking an affordable X-Ray Knee Skyline View? Medintu offers competitively priced MRI and CT scans, partnering with top NABL-certified diagnostic centers and clinics. Our facilities ensure high-quality imaging and accurate results. An X-ray knee skyline view, also known as the tangential or merchant view, focuses on the patellofemoral joint to evaluate the alignment and condition of the patella (kneecap). In this view, the patient is typically positioned with the knee flexed at about 30 degrees, and the X-ray beam is directed at the knee from a specific angle. It is primarily used to assess the relationship between the patella and the femoral groove, identifying conditions like patellar subluxation, dislocation, or cartilage wear. This view is especially useful for detecting patellofemoral pain syndrome, chondromalacia, or other issues affecting the knee’s anterior structure. The X-ray helps clinicians plan appropriate treatments or surgeries by providing a detailed view of the patellar region.
