Without any knowlege of what your neurologist is looking for, in general, you can get almost the same information from an MR myelogram as oppossed to a formal myelogram. A myelogram involves the introduction of contrast material via injection to "indirectly" show nerve root or cord compression. It is usually only reserved for emergant pre-surgical conditions or at least ones where there are significant questions about the eitiology of the neurologic compromisation and more information is needed.
