Myelogram (Cervical radiographs)
The spinal cord is not able to be seen on a regular x-ray, so we perform a myelogram to help us visualize it. A myelogram is a procedure where a special dye (contrast agent) is injected into the spinal canal which enables us to highlight the spinal cord on x-rays. A myelogram may be done to find problems with the spine such as a narrowing of the spinal canal or where there is compression of the spinal cord (wobbler syndrome).
The spinal canal holds the spinal cord, spinal nerve roots, and the subarachnoid space. A dye is put into the subarachnoid space with a thin needle. The dye moves through the subarachnoid space so the nerve roots and spinal cord can be seen more clearly. Pictures may be taken before and after the dye is used.
