ABSTRACT
CT myelography is an important imaging modality that combines the advantages of myelography and the high resolution of CT. It provides a detailed delineation of pathologic spine conditions, especially those involving the thecal sac and its contents. However, the role of CT myelography has dramatically and appropriately decreased with the advent of MRI, which provides a noninvasive method to demonstrate pathologic spine conditions with high signal intensity in soft tissues. At the present time, CT myelography is often performed in patients who require evaluation of the thecal sac but have a contraindication to undergoing MRI. However, there remain many situations in which CT myelography is indicated and plays a critical role in patient treatment. The authors review common and uncommon indications for CT myelography and demonstrate various pathologic conditions in which CT myelography plays a vital role in patient treatment in this modern era of MRI.©RSNA, 2020.
