Crystall,

Hi there...I am sorry I didn't get back to you earlier...was on vacation for 2 weeks...had a great time. You said that when you had the tomogram test done on your joints...your neck was put in some strange positions...could you explain that abit more to me...and were you standing up or lying down?

Would appreciate any feedback, thanks, and have a great day.
Sandi

Hi Sandi,

When I had my tomograms taken I believe I was sitting in a chair. It's quite similar to a regular dental x-ray, but they take films at several different angles. The most difficult one for me was when I had to bend by head backwards. If you have neck problems they may be able to accomodate you.

Best of luck.
