Detailed explanation-1: -If you have persistent back pain, your doctors will likely suggest either a CT scan or an MRI first. If both of these tests are unable to explain the problem, they may order a myelogram, as it can reveal certain problems that aren’t visible with a conventional CT scan or an MRI.
Detailed explanation-2: -MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) has replaced the need for myelography in many cases. MRIs use a magnetic field and radio waves to create images of organs and structures inside the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -A myelogram is a diagnostic imaging test generally done by a radiologist. It uses a contrast dye and X-rays or computed tomography (CT) to look for problems in the spinal canal. Problems can develop in the spinal cord, nerve roots, and other tissues. This test is also called myelography.
Detailed explanation-4: -What is Myelography? Myelography is an imaging examination that involves the introduction of a spinal needle into the spinal canal and the injection of contrast material in the space around the spinal cord and nerve roots (the subarachnoid space) using a real-time form of x-ray called fluoroscopy.
