X-rays are waves of electromagnetic radiation that are absorbed differently by different tissues. Bones absorb them well because they are dense. A skeletal X-ray specifically looks at your skeletonâwhich is made up of all the bones in your body.
What It Is. A foot X-ray is a safe and painless test that uses a small amount of radiation to make an image of a person's foot. During the examination, an X-ray machine sends a beam of radiation through the foot, and an image is recorded on special X-ray film or a computer. This image shows the soft tissues and bones of the foot, which include the tarsal bones (ankle bones), metatarsal bones (front end of foot), and phalanges (toes).
