Why is Myelography Used?
Myelography can be used to: • Detect a blockage in the spinal canal that may be caused by a tumor or by a spinal disc that has ruptured (herniated). • Detect inflammation of the membrane (arachnoid membrane) that covers the brain and spinal cord. • Detect abnormalities in the blood supply to the spinal cord. • Detect problems of the spinal cord and the nerves that branch off from the spinal cord.
