Myelogram Dye Injection: Location and Procedure Explained

In a myelogram procedure, the dye is injected into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) surrounding the spinal cord. This is typically done through a needle inserted into the lower back, between two lumbar vertebrae. The dye used is a contrast agent, which helps to visualize the spinal cord and any abnormalities or blockages in the CSF flow.
