Your examination involved the use of special substances that can light up.

These substances may occur naturally in the body. The special substances may also need to be administered before an examination. The substances then spread through the body and accumulate in specific areas. A sample may also be taken from the body. The sample is then studied in a laboratory using the special substances. The special substances light up when exposed to a certain type of light.
