Advanced Spinal Imaging
Specialized imaging modalities including MRI, CT, and myelography used to evaluate soft tissues, nerve roots, and spinal cord integrity. These techniques provide detailed cross-sectional views of the spinal canal.
Key Facts
- MRI is considered the gold standard for visualizing spinal cord compression and soft tissue pathology.
- CT scans provide excellent three-dimensional bone detail and are useful for surgical planning.
- Myelography involves injecting contrast dye into the spinal canal to highlight compression sites on X-rays.
- These modalities are essential when neurological signs are present despite normal or inconclusive radiographs.
