A myelogram is a diagnostic tool used to determine cord compression in the potential surgical candidate. Even when the horse shows obvious compression on standing films, the myelogram is needed to show if there is more than one level of compression. Cord compression is determined by measuring the dorsal and ventral dye column in both neutral and flexed positions. Ratio measurements are made by using a special software program on each digital radiograph taken during the myelogram.
