Special chapters on Needle Techniques, Procedural Safety, Fluoroscopic and Ultrasound Imaging Pearls, Radiation Safety, and L5-S1 Disc Access provide additional visual instruction.
View drawings of radiopaque landmarks and key radiolucent anatomy that cannot be viewed fluoroscopically.
Videos including procedural “set-up” and optimal and suboptimal constrast flow are available in the Expert Consult eBook version.
Includes new unique diagrams demonstrating cervical, thoracic and lumbar radiofrequency probe placement and treatment zones on multiplanar views, as well as new unique tables and examples differentiating between optimal and suboptimal epidural contrast flow
Features new coverage of ultrasound techniques, as well as new presentation of fluoroscopic and ultrasound guided procedures for “spine masqueraders” such as the hip and shoulder.
