Recent years , in hospital , we usually take radiography x ray on patient to
diagnosis spinal sicks . But not every type x ray machine can correctly
diagnosis this sicks.
A discogram is a procedure where a needle is placed into a spinal disc in the back. The disc is then injected with contrast material, i.e., dye, that allows the disc to be examined under X-ray. This X-Ray (which is also called "fluoroscopy") is used to guide the procedure.
So to achieve this function , we should use perlong medical PLX 7000series Medical c arm x ray machine . The purpose of the discogram is two-fold: 1) to examine the integrity of the disc - that is, to determine if it is bulging or bursting. A burst disc is what physicians call a "herniated disc." Fluoroscopy may also determine if there are irregularities in the shape of the disc, which will appear under the X-ray as stretch marks - marks that are bulging out from the disc. This is called a "disc bulge." Either a herniation or disc bulge are referred to commonly by the term "slipped disc."
Either of these disc problems can cause pressure on nerves, the spinal cord around the spinal bones and pressure on the disc itself -and each of these can potentially cause pain. But we have found recently that the disc itself can cause pain. Therefore, the second part of the discogram includes injecting enough fluid into the disc so that the disc becomes pressurized.
