Myelography involves injecting contrast dye into the space around the spinal cord to help visualize the spinal cord, nerve roots, and surrounding tissues on X-ray images. This procedure can help diagnose spinal cord or nerve compression caused by various conditions such as herniated discs, tumors, or spinal stenosis.
