How is the Test Performed?
The test is performed in a hospital radiology department or in the health care provider's office by an X-ray technician. You are asked to position the bone to be X-rayed on the table, or stand in different positions depending on the X-ray being taken. The pictures are then taken, repositioning the bone for different views.
Normally, an X-ray focuses on a particular area of concern, but with a skeletal survey, all areas are imaged.
