fuzzy, is a myleogram the same as the discogram? So my doctor here may be correct? One problem Dr. Bitan had was that the newest MRI was 'fuzzy' in the cervical area. He was able to compare to the 2007 images, and that lumbar area was fairly good to view (not that the discs were good). He was asking for the discogram etc. to make a final diagnosis to give to the insurance, in case he was missing something with the MRI, I presume.
