CCI/AAI Diagnostic Imaging (CT Myelogram, Bloodpatch, Upright MRI, Rotational MRI) ~ BracedandFused

The road to a CCI/AAI and Chiari diagnosis and treatment was paved with diagnostic imaging. Some of these tests I had never heard of until I was right in the middle of them, and I didn't know what to expect. I wanted to explain a little about my experience with several of these tests, including a CT Myelogram, Bloodpatch, Upright MRI, Rotational CT, and a full spine and brain MRI.

Not blind blood patch. Is a targeted blood patch.
