Isovue is water soluble, so about 24 hours after it was injected it will be totally absorbed by the body, processed, and excreted as a waste byproduct by the kidneys.
It means they didn't find anything unusual during the CT scan (Computed Tomography) after the Myelogram dye injection.
A myelogram is interpreted by examining the images obtained after a contrast dye is injected into the spinal canal, usually via lumbar puncture. Radiologists look for abnormalities such as disc herniations, spinal stenosis, tumors, or other changes in the spinal cord and nerve roots. The distribution and density of the contrast material help identify areas of compression or obstruction. It's important to correlate the findings with clinical symptoms and other imaging studies for an accurate diagnosis.
CPT code 72158 refers to an MRI of the lumbar spine with and without contrast. This imaging procedure is used to evaluate the lumbar region of the spine for various conditions, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or tumors. The use of contrast enhances the visibility of certain structures and abnormalities in the MRI images.
CPT code 72156 refers to an MRI of the lumbar spine, specifically with contrast material. This imaging procedure is used to evaluate conditions affecting the lumbar region, such as herniated discs, tumors, or spinal stenosis. The use of contrast enhances the visibility of certain structures, allowing for a more detailed assessment.
CPT code 72148 refers to an MRI of the lumbar spine, specifically with contrast enhancement. This imaging procedure is used to evaluate conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or tumors in the lumbar region. The use of contrast helps to provide clearer images and better diagnosis of certain spinal issues.
CPT code 72142 refers to an MRI of the lumbar spine, specifically with and without contrast. This procedure is typically used to evaluate conditions affecting the lumbar region, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or tumors. The use of contrast can enhance the visibility of certain structures and abnormalities in the images obtained during the MRI.
CPT code 72192 refers to an MRI of the lumbar spine, specifically with and without contrast material. This imaging procedure is used to evaluate conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or tumors in the lumbar region. The use of contrast enhances the visualization of blood vessels and certain tissues, providing more detailed information for diagnosis.
The phrase that does not belong is "antecubital." The other three terms—lumbar, thoracic, and abdominal—refer to regions of the body related to the spine and torso. In contrast, "antecubital" refers specifically to the area in front of the elbow.
The median sacral crest on the sacrum is a bony ridge formed by fusion of sacral vertebrae, indicating where the individual vertebrae once were. In contrast, the median sacral crest on lumbar vertebrae does not exist, as lumbar vertebrae do not fuse in the same way as sacral vertebrae.
At the very top of the spine are the atlas and axis vertebrae. Beneath them are the cervical vertebrae of the neck, which connect to the dorsal vertebrae of the back. Next are the lumbar vertebrae near the base of the spine, which terminate at the sacrum and coccyx.
A sprain of the lumbar vertebrata.
