myelography

Another common test performed in spinal cord injuries is the myelography.

This effect was very clear in patients with total block in the preoperative myelography.

The patients with total or subtotal block in preoperative myelography achieved the best result.

When myelography is used, it is almost always combined with a CT scan.

The researchers found several carriers of the gene got breast cancer after myelography, diagnostic spinal X-rays.

Often, myelography prior to the introduction of Metrizamide was the cause of arachnoiditis.

Positive contrast myelography with iodised oil (lipiodol).

Before having surgery or any procedures requiring use of contrast dye (e.g., myelography), tell your doctor or dentist you are on this medication.

MRI, CT and myelography are all ineffective at localizing the at-fault level.

Epidural myelography: a pioneering technique for evaluating spine problems in the pre-axial tomography days (1965)

Myelography has been largely replaced by the use of CT and MRI scans.

Myelography is used to confirm the diagnosis of AVMs and it shows 'snake-like' vessels on the cord's surface.

Urografin is not to be used for myelography, ventriculography or cisternography, since it is likely to provoke neurotoxic symptoms in these examinations.

A lumbar puncture can be performed after the MRI or at the time of CT myelography.

There are two tests that can provide a definite diagnosis of myelomalacia; magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or myelography.

Computerized tomography in conjunction with metrizamide myelography in the late 1960s and 1970s allowed direct observation of the mechanisms involved in post operative failures.

Myelograms still provide excellent outlines of space-occupying lesions, especially when combined with CT scanning (CT myelography).

Myelography is inadequate to completely evaluate the patient for recurrent disc disease, and CT or MRI scanning is necessary.

Before the advent of MRI intramedullary tumours were often difficult to detect on myelography, particularly infiltrating lesions with only minimal expansion of the cord.

An alternate method of locating the site of a CSF leak is to use heavily T2-weighted MR myelography.

In the days of CT scanning and Pantopaque and later, Metrizamide myelography, the presence of arachnoiditis could be speculated based on radiographic findings.

Historically, Lipiodol was the first iodinated contrast agent (used for myelography by two French physicians, Jacques Forestier and Jean Sicard in 1921).

The use of intrathecal contrast and MR Myelography is also an alternative method of locating CSF leaks with a very high degree of success.

Myelography is a type of radiographic examination that uses a contrast medium to detect pathology of the spinal cord, including the location of a spinal cord injury, cysts, and tumors.

This heightened utility often results in a lesser demand for more invase techniques for acquiring electrophysiological data, such as myelography, a procedure where complications are not uncommon and the amount of attention required for post-operative care is more involved.
