Myelography is a medical imaging procedure that uses contrast material to visualize the spinal cord.
Myelography is typically performed to diagnose conditions such as spinal cord compression, tumors, and infections.
During a myelography, the contrast material is injected into the spinal canal through a lumbar puncture.
The contrast material then flows through the spinal canal and coats the surface of the spinal cord and nerve roots.
