Overview
X-ray imaging includes conventional and enhanced methods that can help diagnose the cause and site of back pain. A conventional x-ray is often the first imaging technique used, it looks for fractured bones, degenarative changes , and vertebral misalignment. Tissue masses such as injured muscles and ligaments or painful conditions such as a bulging disc are not visible on conventional x-rays. Myelogram enhances the diagnostic imaging of an x-ray. In this procedure, the contrast dye is injected into the spinal canal, allowing spinal cord and nerve compression caused by herniated discs or fractures to be seen on an x-ray.
X-ray
- X-ray imaging includes conventional and enhanced methods that can help diagnose the cause and site of back pain.
- A conventional x-ray is often the first imaging technique used, it looks for fractured bones, degenarative changes , and vertebral misalignment. Tissue masses such as injured muscles and ligaments or painful conditions such as a bulging disc are not visible on conventional x-rays. [1]
- Myelogram enhances the diagnostic imaging of an x-ray. In this procedure, the contrast dye is injected into the spinal canal, allowing spinal cord and nerve compression caused by herniated discs or fractures to be seen on an x-ray.[2]
