NCCT Scan Myelogram near me in Dehradun

NCCT Scan Myelogram is an imaging procedure to create a real-time image of the spinal cord, spinal nerve roots, and the spinal meninges to detect their abnormalities. During the test, contrast dye is injected into the spinal canal. Contrast dye is a substance that makes specific organs, blood vessels, and tissue shows up more clearly.

This test is needed in case of symptoms of spinal cord disorders like pain in the back, tingling sensation, weakness, and trouble walking.

This test is prescribed by the doctor to assess the structure of the spinal column, spinal nerve roots, and spinal lining, to diagnose any suspected infections and inflammations of the spinal column, and to detect any tumors (abnormal growth) of the spinal column.

CT exams generally use a small amount of radiation and are therefore considered relatively safer as compared to X-rays.
