A magnetic resonance imaging scan, myelogram, or computed axial tomography scan, and sometimes, an electromyograph are performed to diagnose the specific problem. |

In the test, a myelogram, dye is injected into the spinal canal, not the spinal cord. |
|
A myelogram can show pressure on the spinal cord or nerves from herniated disks, bone spurs, or tumors. |
|
If a myelogram is performed, a high-grade block may be present that can cover several continuous segments of the spinal cord. |
