title: Advantages of ambulatory metrizamide myelography with contrast CT tomography.
abstract: Outpatient metrizamide cervical and lumbar myelography complimented by CT scanning is a safe and effective method of assessing the contents of the neural canal. By minimizing the dose of metrizamide and using a small needle, the incidence of side effects is reduced. The techniques of needle insertion metrizamide injection and radiography as well as pre- and post procedure care are described in detail.
