A member asked:
What are the differences between a myelogram, mri, and ct?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A: CT myelogram requires an injection of contrast into the dural sac within the spinal canal. An MR "myelogram" attempts to simulate the myelogram effect with different MR pulse sequences, and does not require an injection.
