A few hours prior to the examination, patients should neither eat nor drink. At the beginning of myelography, the back or neck is disinfected and a thin needle is placed at height of the iliac crest or the first\/second cervical vertebral body, depending on the area to be examined. If placed correctly, cerebrospinal fluid comes out. Then a contrast agent is injected into the spinal cord. Afterwards, the needle is removed. Now several X-ray\u00a0images in different body positions are made in order to evaluate how the contrast agent spreads out. At the end of myelography, the small wound is sterilely covered. Sometimes it can be necessary to make a CT-myelography after the angiographic myelography.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Myelography is a diagnostic procedure similar to angiography, carried out by using MRI, CT or angiography devices.
