How do you read myelogram?

A myelogram is interpreted by examining the images obtained after a contrast dye is injected into the spinal canal, usually via lumbar puncture. Radiologists look for abnormalities such as disc herniations, spinal stenosis, tumors, or other changes in the spinal cord and nerve roots. The distribution and density of the contrast material help identify areas of compression or obstruction. It's important to correlate the findings with clinical symptoms and other imaging studies for an accurate diagnosis.
