Spinal Disc Evaluation with Contrast Injection

The provider performs this diagnostic procedure, called discography, by injecting contrast into the nucleus pulposus, or gel like center of a spinal disc, to examine and better visualize the intervertebral disc space. This procedure is also referred to as a discogram, or disc stimulation, and it helps identify damage to lumbar vertebrae causing neck or back pain.
