Discograms
What Are Discograms (Discography)?
Specialist doctors use discograms to determine whether an intervertebral disc is causing chronic back pain.. Our radiologists inject a contrast dye directly into the disc under imaging guidance to evaluate your pain response and examine the disc structure.
Advanced Imaging with Digital Precision
At Link Radiology, our team performs discograms using CT or fluoroscopic guidance. With this real-time imaging, our specialists can ensure accurate needle placement into the targeted disc. As a result, the disc structure can be clearly visualised, and the contrast dye can be delivered with precision.
Your Safety and Comfort Come First
Our experienced team uses local anaesthetic and gentle techniques to maximise your comfort. In addition, we carefully monitor you throughout the procedure to ensure your safety. Furthermore, we use low-dose imaging protocols to minimise radiation exposure wherever possible.
Comprehensive Spinal Diagnostic Service
Discograms help differentiate painful discs from healthy ones and guide treatment plans such as surgery, physical therapy, or pain management. This procedure is often used when other imaging tests (MRI, CT) are inconclusive but symptoms persist.
