Does myelography cause headache?
Headache is a common complication of myelography

What is done in myelography?
In myelography, dye is injected into the spinal canal and the patient is then tilted in different directions on a special table, allowing dye to outline the spinal cord and nerve roots and to show areas of compression.
Is a radiography study of the spinal cord using contrast medium?
A myelogram is a radiographic study of the spinal cord using contrast medium. The process is known as myelography.
When is myelography used if cancer is suspected?
Tumors can originate in the spinal cord or in tissues surrounding the cord. Cancers that have started in other parts of the body may spread or metastasize in the spine. It is important to precisely locate the mass causing pressure
Term that means radiology of the spinal cord after injection of a contrast medium into the subarachnoid space?
The term you are looking for is "myelography." This diagnostic procedure involves the injection of a contrast medium into the subarachnoid space surrounding the spinal cord, allowing for enhanced imaging of the spinal cord and nerve roots using X-ray or MRI. Myelography is commonly used to identify conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or tumors.
What is myelography?
An x ray of the spine
Can spurs be diagnosed using a myelography?
Yes
What are some good books about myelography?
Some good books about myelography include "Myelography" by J.M. Taveras and R.M. Woodcock, "Neuroradiology: A Core Review" by Varand Ghazikhanian and "Neuroimaging: Anatomy Meets Function" by Johnathan D. Sprinkle. It's also recommended to refer to academic journals and online resources for the most up-to-date information on myelography.
Can narrowing of the spinal canal be diagnosed using a myelography?
Yes
What risks are involved with myelography?
Headache is a common complication of myelography. It may begin several hours to several days after the examination. The cause is thought to be changes in cerebrospinal fluid pressure, not a reaction to the dye.
Why is CT myelography used to diagnose perineural cysts?
CT myelography (a test in which dye is injected into the spine) may demonstrate the cerebrospinal fluid flow between the spinal subarachnoid area and the cyst.
