Anybody know what this is? As opposed to an MRI? I can't seem to find a good site that explains what it actually is... Thanks
Man I wish...asking for a friend who is paralized, basically from the neck down, in the hospital right now.
I assume you're talking about the CT myelogram. Usually ordered by surgeons prior to planned spinal surgery, e.g., to better define the anatomy of the spinal cord and nerve roots, assess the degree of spinal stenosis etc seen on the MRI. It involves injection of a dye into your spinal canal and then imaging with the CT.
Yeah, sure, make me feel guilty... Here, ya spelled it wrong, it's myelogram http://www.umm.edu/radiology/myelog.htm
