What is myelography?

Myelography

A myelogram is an x-ray test that uses dye directly injected into your spinal canal to help show places where your spinal cord may be getting pinched by the vertebrae in your back. It is sometimes used to help diagnose back or leg pain problems, especially if surgery is being planned.
