Image-Guided Spine Interventions

This second, completely revised and updated edition of the successful practical guide to image-guided spine intervention contains revised text and images as well as new sections and chapters including intradiscal pharmacological injections, balloon assisted vertebroplasty, selective nerve blocks, radiofrequency neurolysis and RF therapy. The updated text thoroughly discusses both well-established and new interventions that are applied to the spine for the purpose of pain relief. Traditionally, pain procedures were in the limited purview of the pain anesthesiologist. Only a portion of these procedures were image-guided. The continued growth in utilization of spine intervention and resultant improvement in outcomes and safety have inspired this comprehensive and reader friendly updated edition. This book is an ideal aid for radiologists and other physicians who deal with back pain.
