Lumbar tomomyelography with water-soluble contrast medium. 1976

A Agnoli, and D Krichoff, and H R Eggert

Myelography supplemented by tomography was routinely carried out in 150 cases. The number of false negative findings was reduced practically to nil. At present, this method is only used in cases with equivocal results at conventional myelography or with poor correlation between clinical symptomatology and myelography. The frequency of side effects in 500 examinations with Dimer-X is unimportant.

D013126	Spinal Nerve Roots	Paired bundles of NERVE FIBERS entering and leaving the SPINAL CORD at each segment. The dorsal and ventral nerve roots join to form the mixed segmental spinal nerves. The dorsal roots are generally afferent, formed by the central projections of the spinal (dorsal root) ganglia sensory cells, and the ventral roots are efferent, comprising the axons of spinal motor and PREGANGLIONIC AUTONOMIC FIBERS.
