Description
Myelography is an imaging test used to diagnose spinal cord or nerve root issues like herniated discs or tumors, typically costing ¥1,000–¥3,000 in China; ChinaMedicalHub helps coordinate hospital appointments and interpreter support.
Main Uses
Myelography is primarily used to diagnose conditions affecting the spine, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and tumors. It is also useful in identifying the cause of back pain, leg pain, or neurological symptoms. This test is often performed when MRI is contraindicated or inconclusive.
Normal Range
A myelogram does not have a numerical normal range as it is an imaging test. The results are interpreted based on the visualization of the spinal cord, nerve roots, and subarachnoid space. A normal myelogram shows no blockages, compressions, or abnormalities in these areas.
Low Values - Possible Causes
N/A - Myelography does not produce values that can be categorized as low. Abnormalities are identified through visual inspection for signs of compression, stenosis, or other structural issues.
High Values - Possible Causes
N/A - Myelography does not produce values that can be categorized as high. Abnormal findings may include herniated discs, tumors, inflammation, or other conditions affecting the spinal canal or nerve roots.
