About CECT MYELOGRAM (ONE PART)
CECT Myelogram (One Part) is a specialized imaging examination used to evaluate the spinal canal and related neural structures. It involves the administration of contrast material into the cerebrospinal fluid space, followed by CT imaging of one selected region of the spine. The examination provides detailed images of the spinal canal, nerve roots, and bony structures.
What is CECT MYELOGRAM (ONE PART)?
During a CT myelogram, contrast material is introduced into the spinal fluid space through a carefully performed lumbar puncture under appropriate medical supervision. CT images are then acquired of the selected spinal region. The contrast helps outline the spinal canal and nerve roots, allowing detailed assessment of areas that may be difficult to evaluate with routine CT imaging.
Common Reasons for CECT MYELOGRAM
Evaluation of spinal canal narrowing
Assessment of nerve root compression
Evaluation of suspected spinal cord or nerve-related abnormalities
Assessment of complex spinal disorders
Evaluation when MRI is contraindicated or not suitable
Assessment of postoperative spinal changes
Evaluation of suspected spinal block or obstruction
Detailed pre-operative assessment of selected spinal conditions
Conditions Evaluated
Spinal Canal Stenosis
Helps assess narrowing of the spinal canal and its relationship to the spinal cord or nerve roots.
Nerve Root Compression
Provides detailed visualization of the nerve roots and can help identify areas of possible compression.
Disc-Related Abnormalities
Can assist in evaluating certain disc-related changes and their effect on the spinal canal or neural structures.
Postoperative Spinal Changes
May be used to assess selected postoperative abnormalities when detailed anatomical information is required.
Spinal Canal Abnormalities
Helps demonstrate structural abnormalities affecting the spinal canal and surrounding neural structures.
Who Should Consider This Examination?
Your doctor may recommend a CECT Myelogram (One Part) when:
Detailed evaluation of the spinal canal is required
Nerve root compression is suspected
MRI is contraindicated or cannot provide the required information
Complex spinal disease requires further assessment
Previous spinal surgery has altered the anatomy
Detailed imaging is needed for treatment or surgical planning

प्रक्रिया से पहले डायग्नोस्टिक सेंटर द्वारा दिए गए खाली पेट रहने और अन्य तैयारी संबंधी निर्देशों का पालन करें।
यदि आपको पहले कभी कॉन्ट्रास्ट या किसी दवा से प्रतिक्रिया हुई है, तो मेडिकल टीम को बताएं।
यदि आप रक्त पतला करने वाली दवाएं या रक्त के थक्के बनने को प्रभावित करने वाली दवाएं लेते हैं, तो डॉक्टर को सूचित करें। बिना चिकित्सकीय सलाह के कोई दवा बंद न करें।
यदि आपको रक्तस्राव या रक्त के थक्के बनने से संबंधित कोई समस्या, संक्रमण या अन्य महत्वपूर्ण स्वास्थ्य समस्या है, तो मेडिकल टीम को बताएं।
यदि आप गर्भवती हैं या गर्भावस्था की संभावना है, तो जांच से पहले सेंटर को सूचित करें।
यदि उपलब्ध हों, तो पुराने MRI, CT, X-ray, स्पाइनल सर्जरी रिकॉर्ड और अन्य संबंधित मेडिकल रिपोर्ट साथ लाएं।
आरामदायक कपड़े पहनें और इमेजिंग से पहले आभूषण या अन्य धातु की वस्तुओं को हटाने संबंधी निर्देशों का पालन करें।
यदि मेडिकल टीम सलाह दे, तो प्रक्रिया के बाद साथ ले जाने के लिए किसी जिम्मेदार व्यक्ति की व्यवस्था करें, विशेषकर यदि सेडेशन या अतिरिक्त सहायता की आवश्यकता हो।
प्रक्रिया के बाद भोजन, तरल पदार्थ और दवाओं के संबंध में सेंटर द्वारा दिए गए निर्देशों का पालन करें।
प्रक्रिया के बाद मेडिकल टीम द्वारा बताए गए समय तक भारी या अधिक मेहनत वाले कार्यों से बचें।
लगातार या तेज सिरदर्द, असामान्य कमजोरी, बुखार या अन्य चिंताजनक लक्षण होने पर तुरंत मेडिकल टीम से संपर्क करें।
The radiology team will review your symptoms, medical history, medications, previous imaging, and relevant reports before the examination.
You will be positioned appropriately, usually on your side or in another position suitable for the lumbar puncture.
Under appropriate sterile precautions and local anaesthesia, a trained doctor will perform a lumbar puncture to access the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) space.
A suitable contrast material will be carefully introduced into the CSF space according to the prescribed myelography protocol.
The patient may be repositioned as required to allow appropriate distribution of the contrast within the selected spinal region.
CT images will then be acquired of the specified part of the spine.
You will be asked to remain as still as possible during image acquisition for clear, high-quality images.
The examination provides detailed visualization of the spinal canal, nerve roots, bony structures, and relevant abnormalities.
Multiplanar or additional image reconstructions may be performed when clinically required.
After the scan, you may be observed for a short period and given specific post-procedure instructions by the medical team.
The radiologist will review the images and prepare the final report, generally available within 24 hours.
