description

Henning (1940) and Ehrhardt and Kneip (1943) were the first to report injection of contrast medium into bone. In 1952 Fischgold et al. reported that contrast injections into a human spinous process resulted in an outline of the venous plexus of the attached vertebral body. In subsequent years improvements have been made which now permit contrast visualization of the venous plexuses of the entire vertebral axis.
