    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Thoracic myelography is crucial for diagnosing spinal conditions.
    • Obtaining clear lateral projections in thoracic myelography presents significant technical difficulties.
    • This often leads to the thoracic region being under-imaged or neglected in spinal imaging protocols.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe an innovative technique for thoracic myelography.
    • To facilitate imaging of the contrast-filled thoracic subarachnoid space in the lateral projection.
    • To improve diagnostic accuracy for thoracic spinal pathologies.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a specialized technique at Medical Center Del Oro Hospital, Houston, Texas.
    • Focus on achieving optimal contrast enhancement and patient positioning for lateral views.
