Real-time digitally subtracted fluoroscopy for cervical myelography. 1984

R G Sherry, and R E Anderson

Improved visualization of the initial bolus of contrast material injected via a lateral Cl-2 puncture for cervical myelography can be obtained by using real-time digital subtraction fluoroscopy. As little as 0.1 ml of metrizamide (250 mg%) can be demonstrated easily.
