Myelogram is examination of:
- A- Pelvic.
- B- Skull.
- C- Lumber.
- D- Bladder.
Myelogram is an examination of the C. Lumber (and sometimes cervical and thoracic) spine, not the options you listed.
A myelogram uses a contrast dye injected into the spinal canal to visualize the spinal cord, nerve roots, and surrounding structures on an X-ray or CT scan. It helps diagnose conditions affecting these structures, such as:
- Herniated discs.
- Spinal stenosis.
- Tumors.
- Infections.
While it may involve imaging the lumbar spine, myelograms are not used for the pelvis, skull, or bladder.
Other Options:
Here's a breakdown of the listed options:
A. Pelvic:
Pelvic ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI are more commonly used for examining the pelvis.
B. Skull:
X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs are used for examining the skull, not myelograms.
D. Bladder:
Cystoscopy or bladder ultrasound are more suitable for examining the bladder.
