Health | In myelography, a special dye that absorbs X-rays is injected into the spinal cord. This dye outlines the spinal cord but will not pass through a tumor. (references) | |
To rule out such lesions and check for inflammation of the spinal cord, patients often undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a procedure that provides a picture of the brain and spinal cord. Physicians also may perform myelography, which involves injecting a dye into the sac that surrounds the spinal cord. The patient is then tilted up and down to let the dye flow around and outline the spinal cord while X-rays are taken. (references) | ||
