Intervertebral disc2
- Myelography can also diagnose the spinal stenosis and herniation of intervertebral disc into spinal canal. (latinaproject.com)

Disk herniation4
- The intrathecal gadolinium-enhanced MR myelography revealed disk herniation (n = 4), posttraumatic spinal stenosis (n = 3), postsurgical noncommunicating cyst (n = 1), myelitis (n = 1), intradural extramedullary mass formation (n = 1), and intradural vascular malformation (n = 1). (nih.gov)
- Criteria for patient selection included presurgical CT, myelography, or both and surgical or necropsy confirmation of disk herniation between the T3 and L6 vertebral articulations. (avmi.net)
- The relative sensitivity for locating the site of disk herniation was 83.6% when myelography was the first test performed and 81.8% when CT was the first test performed. (avmi.net)
- Both myelography and CT are reasonable diagnostic imaging modalities for locating the site of disk herniation. (avmi.net)
Radiographic examination1
- 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. (wikipedia.org)
Angiography1
- Patients with spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality (SCIWORA) should undergo MRI testing of the suspected area, radiographic screening of the entire spinal cord, assessment of spinal stability with flexion-extension radiographs (in the acute setting and late follow-up, even with negative MRI), but neither spinal angiography or myelography is recommended. (medscape.com)
Scans1
- Today, myelography has largely been replaced by the use of MRI scans, although the technique is still sometimes used under certain circumstances - though now usually in conjunction with CT rather than X-ray projections. (wikipedia.org)
Subarachnoid space3
- In myelography, doctors do a spinal tap so that they can inject a radiopaque contrast agent into the subarachnoid space (the channel between the layers of tissue that cover the brain and spinal cord). (msdmanuals.com)
- A myelography is a specialised test that is used to visualise the spinal bones and the space around the spinal cord called the subarachnoid space. (seattleneuro.com)
