Answer (C) Myelogram
An intrathecal injection is one made within the spinal meninges. A myelogram requires an intrathecal injection to introduce contrast medium into the subarachnoid space. An IVU requires an intravenous injection; a retrograde pyelogram requires that contrast medium be introduced into the ureters by way of cystoscopy. A cystogram requires that contrast medium be introduced via catheter into the urinary bladder
