IMAGE-GUIDED SPINAL PROCEDURES AND INTERVENTIONAL INJECTION TECHNIQUES

You are staring at a fluoroscopy monitor mid-procedure, contrast spreading in a pattern that does not quite match the atlas image in your head, and the needle is already past the lamina.

Interventional spine training moves fast, and most trainees pick up C-arm angles, transforaminal trajectories, and ultrasound probe positions from whoever happens to be supervising that week. The gaps show up later, at the table, when a facet joint will not fill or a caudal needle will not thread.

This 2026 edition closes those gaps with a single reference built around the actual sequence of a procedure day: patient selection and consent, sedation and sterile technique, then a level-by-level walk through cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral injections under both fluoroscopic and ultrasound guidance.

• Multiplanar C-arm and ultrasound anatomy for every major spinal and musculoskeletal target
• Step-by-step technique for epidural, medial branch, facet, sacroiliac, discography, and vertebral augmentation procedures
• Complication recognition, radiation safety, and occupational protection built into every chapter
• Over 100 clinical teaching videos, unlocked through the QR code printed inside the back cover
• 50 clinical illustrations rendered specifically for this edition, with every anatomic label checked against the text

Dr. Grant W. Ellison distills two decades of fluoroscopy suite and ultrasound bay experience into a working reference, not a textbook you read once and shelve.

Open to any chapter and you are at the table, not in a lecture hall.
