Guest guest Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Does anyone know what a Dynamic Myelogram is and if it is different to a standard Myelogram? Sent via BlackBerry by AT & T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Hmmm.. Never heard of this. I wonder how its different, since they move you around in a traditional myelogram. All the myelograms I've had (3, I think), they injected the dye, and then had me on a tilt table that tilted my head up and then down and they also had me roll from side to side. Not sure what a dynamic one would do differently. The only thing I could find online about dynamic myelograms was the following: http://www.ajnr.org/cgi/reprint/24/8/1711 If that doesn't show the full PDF, it was available for free when I found it. Even with my medical education, this article was beyond that. Maybe some of the RNs on the list can decipher it and post a more layperson summary?

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Thanks Jenn. I think it is the same article I looked at. Yeah, not very layman friendly.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 , I worked as a care provider and in billing/auditing of accounts/charts for radiation oncology clinics. My knowledge of medical terminology is pretty extensive. Even if I don't know the word, once I break it down into its parts, I can figure it out. This is the first journal article I haven't been able to decipher (granted, I didn't spend a significant amount of time trying). But, I've also never come across a journal article that actually required me to have to " work " at it just to understand it. Being lazy, I figured I'd ask if any of our RNs were able to make heads/tails of it before I put in some dedicated time on it. If they can't or won't, then I'll work on it in more detail. I'm pretty sure I can figure it out if I sink some time into it (if I have to). Jenn > > > Thanks Jenn. I think it is the same article I looked at.
