Spinal Phlebography Lumbar and Cervical Techniques

Spinal phlebography is an "indirect" radiologic technique for investigating verte­ bromedullary pathology. It is a harmless and almost painless technique that does not require the introduction of contrast medium into the subarachnoid spaces. Its interpretation is based on the modifications...
