Abstract:
CT following myelography is superior to myelography alone in the diagnosis of spine disease. When using water soluble contrast, post myelogram orders include keeping the patient's head elevated. Examination by computed tomography necessitates the patient's head be lowered. This study demonstrates that post myelographic CT does not produce a significant increase in headache.
