There are generally two injections of dye into the spinal cord.
A myelogram combines x rays with an injection of dye into the spinal canal and allows for detailed visualization of the spinal canal and nerve roots.
It means they didn't find anything unusual during the CT scan (Computed Tomography) after the Myelogram dye injection.
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.
An x-ray record of the spinal cord is called myelogram or myelography.
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.

A myelogram takes approximately 30-60 minutes
A myelogram is used to diagnose spinal cord or nerve root compression by injecting contrast dye into the spinal canal and performing imaging studies to visualize the spinal cord and nerve roots. It can help identify causes of back or leg pain, spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or tumors that are not clearly visible on other imaging tests like x-rays or MRI.
No, it would need to inherit a gene to change its colour.
No
A normal myelogram would show a spinal canal of normal width, with no areas of constriction or obstruction
