In myelography, dye is injected into the spinal canal and the patient is then tilted in different directions on a special table, allowing dye to outline the spinal cord and nerve roots and to show areas of compression.

Myelography involves injecting contrast dye into the space around the spinal cord to help visualize the spinal cord, nerve roots, and surrounding tissues on X-ray images. This procedure can help diagnose spinal cord or nerve compression caused by various conditions such as herniated discs, tumors, or spinal stenosis.
