Abstract:
Discography is an image-guided spine procedure that provides diagnostic information about the intervertebral disc. This procedure attempts to reproduce a patient's back or neck pain profile. Discography is used to confirm or refute the presence of a discogenic pain source. Additional morphologic information with post-discography computed tomography and manometric measurements of intradiscal pressure are further enhancements to this procedure.
