MRI Spine With MR Myelography - Test, Procedure & Cost

Myelography uses fluoroscopy, real-time x-ray, and an injection of contrast material to look at the spinal cord, nerve roots, and spinal lining (meninges). It is beneficial for checking the spine after surgery and determining if a disc isn't working right in people who can't get an MRI.

Why is it done? 

Myelograms detect changes or anomalies in the spinal cord, subarachnoid space, and other tissues. Myelograms examine numerous disorders, including:

• Herniated discs compress nerves and the spinal cord.
• Neurological tumours
• Infection/inflammation of spinal cord and brain tissues
