X-ray – Skeletal Survey (Adult) is a detailed imaging procedure that involves taking multiple X-ray images of different bones throughout the body. It is used to assess the entire skeletal system for abnormalities, lesions, fractures, or systemic bone disorders.
This test is commonly recommended in conditions such as suspected bone metastasis, multiple myeloma, unexplained bone pain, or widespread bone disease. It helps in identifying changes in bone structure, density, and integrity across multiple regions.
A skeletal survey provides a comprehensive overview of bone health and is often used for diagnosis, staging, and monitoring of certain medical conditions. The procedure is non-invasive and typically performed in a series of X-rays covering key skeletal areas.
