Imaging techniques that may be used to diagnose pain causes include CAT scan, MRI, ultrasound and x-ray. Specialized tests include arthrography (joint x-ray), epiduroscopy (used to visualize scar tissue), discogram (CAT scan of spinal discs) myelography (contrast x-ray of the spinal cord), DEXA scans (to estimate bone density) and bone scans (to detect injury or disease).
