Metrizamide myelography
WR Boyd
and
GA Gardiner Jr
Complete myelography using metrizamide and a lumbar puncture is described with special emphasis on the cervical region. Good visualization of the cervical region was obtained in 19 of 20 patients using 10-12 ml and iodine concentrations of 250 mg/ml without special techniques or precautions. Possible explanations of failure to visualize the complete subarachnoid space are discussed.
