There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

A myelogram is used to diagnose spinal cord or nerve root compression by injecting contrast dye into the spinal canal and performing imaging studies to visualize the spinal cord and nerve roots. It can help identify causes of back or leg pain, spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or tumors that are not clearly visible on other imaging tests like x-rays or MRI.
