Active Tuberculosis
To diagnose TB of the respiratory tract, 3 to 5 sputum specimens are collected first thing in the morning on different days when they are most likely to contain the most mycobacteria. If extrapulmonary TB is suspected, samples are collected based upon where in the body the infection is likely to be. Multiple samples of gastric (stomach) washings/aspirates or urine may be collected and submitted to the laboratory. Sometimes cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), biopsied tissue, or other body fluids are also collected.

It sounds like the doc is saying "heel" test.

Sentence: The patient questions whether she needs to have a bone density test done. She did have a _________ test done, which was apparently normal, but her last formal bone density test was done in 2002.

I tried googling "heel" tests or "heal" tests and everything in between. Any ideas?
