GenesysMed Discography Procedure – Advanced Diagnostic Solution for Spinal Disc Pathologies

The GenesysMed Discography System is a high-precision diagnostic tool designed to provide detailed evaluation of intervertebral disc conditions. Utilizing state-of-the-art imaging techniques and specialized instrumentation, this procedure offers physicians critical insights into disc integrity and pain sources, enabling accurate treatment planning for complex spinal disorders.

What is Discography?

Discography is an advanced radiological diagnostic procedure involving the injection of contrast media directly into the intervertebral disc. This enables visualization of disc structure and function through CT or MRI scans, allowing physicians to identify disc lesions, degeneration, and pain generators with high accuracy.

How the Procedure is Performed

  • Patient Preparation: The patient is positioned on a diagnostic table, and the injection site is sterilized to prevent infection.
 
  • Local Anesthesia: Administered to ensure patient comfort during the procedure.
 
  • Needle Insertion: A fine needle is carefully guided into the disc under real-time fluoroscopic imaging.
 
  • Contrast Injection: Specialized contrast material is introduced, making disc structures visible under imaging.
 
  • Image Acquisition: CT or MRI scans are performed to evaluate disc morphology, integrity, and potential sources of pain.
 
  • Diagnosis & Planning: Results are analyzed to guide surgical or therapeutic decision-making.

Indications for Use

  • Herniated Discs: Identification and confirmation of disc protrusions or extrusions.
 
  • Degenerative Disc Disease: Evaluation of disc dehydration, fissures, and other degenerative changes.
 
  • Chronic Spinal Pain: Diagnostic clarification when other imaging modalities are inconclusive.
 
  • Surgical Planning: Provides essential data for discectomy or spinal fusion procedures.

Benefits

  • High Diagnostic Accuracy: Offers direct visualization of disc abnormalities and pain sources.
 
  • Improved Treatment Planning: Enables tailored surgical or therapeutic approaches for each patient.
 
  • Safe and Minimally Invasive: Performed under fluoroscopic guidance, minimizing risks and patient discomfort.
 
  • Comprehensive Analysis: Assists in differentiating discogenic pain from other spinal pathologies.
