CT Scan Myelogram near me in Bhopal

The CT Scan Myelogram is a special imaging test used to examine the spinal cord, nerve roots, and the spinal canal. It combines a myelogram (which involves injecting a contrast dye into the space around the spinal cord) with a CT scan, which takes detailed cross-sectional images of the spine.

This test is often recommended when an MRI is not possible or doesn’t provide enough detail, especially in cases of back pain, numbness, tingling, leg or arm weakness, or suspected disc herniation, spinal tumors, spinal stenosis, or nerve compression.

During the procedure, a contrast dye is injected into the spinal canal using a thin needle, usually in the lower back. After the dye spreads, a CT scan is performed to capture detailed images. The test is generally safe, but you may experience temporary headache, nausea, or discomfort at the injection site. Let your doctor know if you have allergies, kidney problems, or if you are pregnant before undergoing this test.
