This frontal x-ray of the lumbar spine during a myelogram shows L4 and L5 pedicle screws and grade 1 spondylolisthesis of L4 over L5. The thecal sac is filled with contrast which is injected after a spinal tap. The string like densities inside of the contrast filled thecal sac are the nerve roots of the cauda equina (so named because they resemble a horse0s tail). | |
