| myelogram |
Myelography is utilized to evaluate for disk pathology and degenerative changes of the spine. A needle is introduced into the spinal canal under fluoroscopic guidance and iodinated contrast is injected into the thecal sac, which contains the nerve roots. Radiographs are then obtained. The patient may go on to CT imaging for a more precise evaluation of the disk and spinal canal. Please see CT myleogram.
