MR Myelography

Synonyms
MR-myelography

MR myelography is a special type of MRI imaging used to visualize spinal Cerebrospinal fluid.

Background

Unlike conventional Myelography, MR myelography does not require puncture of the cerebrospinal fluid space to administer a contrast agent and is therefore less invasive.

Applications

Using MR myelography, for example, Spinal canal stenoses, cysts, and Cerebrospinal fluid fistulas[^1] in the area of the Spinal canal can be visualized.
