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.
A myelogram is a radiographic study of the spinal cord using contrast medium. The process is known as myelography.
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
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.

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.

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.
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.
