A myelogram takes approximately 30-60 minutes
The purpose of a myelogram is to evaluate the spinal cord and/or nerve roots for suspected compression
No
A normal myelogram would show a spinal canal of normal width, with no areas of constriction or obstruction
The medical term for a record of the spinal cord is myelogram. Though very accurate, taking a myelogram is associated with risks mostly due to exposure to X-rays.
A normal myelogram typically shows a smooth and uniform distribution of contrast dye within the spinal canal. There should be no blockages, leaks, or abnormalities in the flow of the dye, indicating a healthy spine and spinal cord. The radiologist will also look for any signs of compression on the nerves or spinal cord.

Patients who smoke may be asked to stop the day before the test. This helps decrease the chance of nausea or headaches after the myelogram
