    Area of Science:

    • Medical Devices
    • Radiology
    • Neurosurgery

    Context:

    • Metrizamide cervical myelography is a diagnostic procedure.
    • Accurate spinal needle insertion is crucial for safety and efficacy.
    • Current methods may require advanced imaging equipment.

    Purpose:

    • To introduce a new apparatus for metrizamide cervical myelography.
    • To facilitate precise lateral C1-C2 puncture in the prone position.
    • To enable accurate needle tip localization without an image intensifier.

    Summary:

    • The apparatus features a head immobilizing frame and a multi-directional needle insertion guide.
    • A sterilized acrylic guide directs spinal needle placement.
    • The device allows for easy localization of the insertion point using lateral cervical X-ray and a scale.
