A member asked:
What is generally performed first: a barium enema or a myelography?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Totally different!: These investigations are for totally different systems: a barium enema is to evaluate the architecture of the colon (AKA large intestine). Myelography is kind of an older type of evaluation of the spinal fluid and fluid around the brain.
