Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The x-ray of the spinal canal after the injection of a radiopaque dye is called a myelogram. A cerebral angiography is an x-ray of the blood vessels in the brain. A lumbar puncture involves taking a sample of cerebrospinal fluid from the spinal cord. Ultrasonography uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of internal organs. None of these descriptions match the given scenario.
