A myelogram (an X-ray taken after a dye is injected into the spine) may be performed.

Before a myelogram, tell your doctor if you:

"It turned out that the docs at Bethesda had goofed my myelogram.

A myelogram is done to check for:

A variety of tests, such as a myelogram or a fistulogram may be undertaken to determine how deep the sinus goes.

In 1983, a medical error during a myelogram procedure left him paralysed from the neck down and threatened to finish his career.

The bill included a myelogram, biopsy, anesthesia, six days in the hospital and a special-care overnight nurse.

Shipped to specialists at Ohio State University, x-rays and a myelogram confirmed the condition.

Myelogram is an x-ray study in which a radio-opaque dye is injected directly into the spinal canal.

MRI has been shown to be more effective at showing the location, nature, and severity of spinal cord compression than a myelogram.

A myelogram may help to find the cause of pain not found by an MRI or CT.

Imaging tests such as the myelogram and discography have been largely replaced by simpler and more effective methods for basic testing.

If the myelogram is positive, angiography is required to show the extent of malformation and the exact site of the shunt.

Bossy completed a myelogram on his back at New York University Hospital on Monday.

It would have been easy to find something to "fix" in my back, but by some miracle of myelogram and honesty, I recovered from that bout without surgery.

"Also, Dr. Thomas's wife is ready for you in the myelogram room," said Helen, when she saw Philips was leaving.

For back surgery, when an M.R.I. scan is unavailable this means a test called a myelogram, which involves injecting dye into the spine.

I had an M.R.I., CAT scan and a myelogram.

A myelogram - an X-ray of the spinal canal after injection of contrast material - which can pinpoint pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.

Put a dye in the CSF that makes the spinal cord and fluid clearer on X-ray pictures (myelogram).

Myelograms: As in discography, during the myelogram procedure, a contrast dye will be injected into the spinal canal to enhance the diagnostic ability of X-ray.

CT Myelogram is minimally invasive, and could be employed when MRI cannot be performed on patient.

The diagnosis is confirmed with a spinal CT, myelogram or MRI of the spinal cord.

X-rays may show malaligned vertebrae and narrow disk spaces, but it is not as effective as a myelogram, which reveals stenosis of the vertebral canal.

He told Mrs. Erlich she needed a myelogram, a scan of the spine that requires a spinal tap to inject dye into the spinal cord.
