Detailed explanation-1: -Myelography is a type of radiographic examination that uses a contrast medium to detect pathology of the spinal cord, including the location of a spinal cord injury, cysts, and tumors.
Detailed explanation-2: -Myelography uses X-rays, which are taken after injection of a radiopaque agent into the subarachnoid space, via lumbar puncture. It has been replaced by MRI for the evaluation of intraspinal abnormalities. However, CT myelography is still performed when MRI is not available.
Detailed explanation-3: -Myelography, also called a myelogram, is an imaging test that checks for problems in your spinal canal. The spinal canal contains your spinal cord, nerve roots, and the subarachnoid space. The subarachnoid space is a fluid-filled space between the spinal cord and the membrane that covers it.
