A CT Myelogram is a specialized computed tomography (CT) scan used to examine the spinal cord, nerve roots, and surrounding structures. It involves injecting contrast dye into the spinal canal (via a lumbar puncture) to highlight abnormalities that may not be visible on a standard CT or MRI scan.

This scan is commonly used to diagnose:

• Spinal cord compression (due to herniated discs or bone spurs)
• Spinal tumors or cysts
• Nerve root injuries
• Spinal infections or inflammation
• Congenital spinal abnormalities
