Service Providers for MRI OF L/S SCREENING W/S WITH MYELOGRAM
MRI of the Lumbosacral Spine (L/S) Screening with Myelogram is a combined imaging procedure that uses both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a contrast-enhanced myelogram to assess the lumbosacral spine. The myelogram involves injecting contrast dye into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to highlight abnormalities in the spinal cord, nerve roots, and surrounding structures. The MRI provides detailed images of soft tissues, such as the spinal cord, discs, and muscles, offering a comprehensive view of both bony and soft tissue structures. Common conditions assessed include spinal cord compression, herniated discs, tumors, congenital anomalies, trauma, and infections. Preparation may involve fasting before the procedure, and risks include mild discomfort, headaches, and allergic reactions to the contrast dye. This combined technique is crucial for diagnosing complex spinal conditions and planning treatment.
