Abstract
The basic procedure for carrying out clinical lumbar discography was examined in several patients. A pressure-standardized injection technique was established. Monitoring the flow of contrast medium into the disc in the case of a true nuclear injection can improve diagnostic efficiency. Knowledge of this flow can help to avoid commonly occurring, but not often recognized, artifacts.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
