Dr. Karunakaran. S, Spine Orthopaedic Surgeon expertise in Spine surgery suggests that the discography procedure is a procedure lead by an image where the expert injects the radiological disparity agent to the Disc between two vertebrae. Discography is to analyze whether the infected or affected spinal discs are the reason behind the neck or back pain, and this is also termed as Discogram. The agent shows the Disc under imaging for a better understanding of Anatomical and Functional details. Due to the effective results and less risks, Dr. Karunakaran suggests Discography. The procedure is done by our expertise radiologist between the two vertebrae. The radiologist finds the disc location through image help and then inserts the needle into the Disc. The location of the Disc varies based on the affected area. Our expert team handles the Disc area that needs to be injected with the contrast agent based on the pain or infected area.

Fluoroscopy is a kind of X-ray where a thin needle is a place to test the spinal Disc. Then the spine expert injects a sterile liquid, which can be seen in an X-ray. When the Disc is the reason for the pain, the injection needs to provoke the pain similarly, and the doctor test this to know which spinal Disc is causing this pain and with this results spine expert decides the treatment, and patients may also be suggested for few other tests like CT scan and X-rays to understand the case better. When the Interventional radiologist injects the contrast agent injection, the disc shape is tested via a CT scanner or Radiograph. This injection increases the pressure between the discs, and the discography procedure test includes the pain induced by the expert, and the response is tested. If the patient is suffering continuously from neck or back pain then this is the right procedure for you since the traditional approach will not bring effective results and also at the time when MRI results are not sure about the condition.
