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
Myelography may be used when a tumor is suspected
Headache is a common complication of myelography
In most cases, myelography is used after other studies, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or a computed tomography scan (CT), have not provided enough information to be certain of the diagnosis.
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.
no- pickle juice is not known or suspected to cause cancer.
A myelogram is a radiographic study of the spinal cord using contrast medium. The process is known as myelography.
No, acetone is not suspected of causing cancer, but tests have never been done to determine the effects of very long term inhalation or ingestion of acetone.
An x ray of the spine
Yes
to evaluate the spinal cord and nerve roots for suspected compression. Pressure on these delicate structures causes pain or other symptoms. A myelogram is performed when precise detail about the spinal cord is needed to make a definitive diagnosis.
They go to the doctor and get tests ran on the suspected area.
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.
