Myelographic contrast

Myelographic contrast refers to a special dye used during a myelogram, a medical imaging procedure that examines the spinal cord and its surrounding structures. This contrast dye is injected into the space around the spinal cord, allowing for clearer visualization on X-ray images or CT scans. By highlighting areas such as nerve roots and spinal discs, doctors can better diagnose conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis. The process helps ensure accurate treatment and understanding of spinal health issues.
