No, creatine is not needed for a myelogram. A myelogram is a diagnostic imaging procedure used to examine the spinal canal and nerve roots, typically involving the injection of a contrast dye. The procedure does not require creatine supplementation, as it focuses on imaging rather than muscle performance or energy metabolism. Always consult with a healthcare professional for specific preparation instructions related to medical procedures.
An x-ray record of the spinal cord is called myelogram or myelography.

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 myelogram may reveal a herniated disk, tumor, bone spurs, or narrowing of the spinal canal
There is limited research on the direct relationship between creatine and DHT levels in the body. Some studies suggest that creatine may potentially increase DHT levels, but more research is needed to confirm this connection.
A myelogram may reveal a herniated disk, tumor, bone spurs, or narrowing of the spinal canal (spinal stenosis).
The result of a radiographic examination.
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
