Comprehensive Atlas of Image-guided Spinal Interventions: A Comprehensive Clinical Reference for Interventional Spine Practice

Move from anatomical target to safe needle trajectory with one integrated procedural resource.

Image-guided spine care demands more than familiarity with a single injection. You need a reliable way to connect radiological anatomy, modality selection, patient preparation, trajectory planning, contrast interpretation, radiation protection, and complication response at the point of care. This professional atlas brings those elements together for clinicians and trainees working across pain medicine, anesthesiology, interventional radiology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, neurosurgery, and related fields.

Across 18 chapters and five practical appendices, the book progresses from foundational principles to region-specific and advanced procedures. Its scope includes cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacroiliac approaches; epidural injections; facet blocks and radiofrequency ablation; vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty; intradiscal therapies; neuromodulation; tumor treatment; infection management; pediatric considerations; and emerging technologies.

• Plan safer trajectories by linking cross-sectional anatomy with fluoroscopic, CT, MRI, ultrasound, and cone-beam CT guidance.
• Compare procedural approaches for epidural injections, medial branch blocks, sacroiliac treatment, vertebral augmentation, and neuromodulation.
• Strengthen patient selection through focused coverage of contraindications, anticoagulation, consent, sedation, monitoring, and discharge.
• Recognize contrast patterns, technical pitfalls, and complications before they compromise procedural safety.
• Apply radiation-reduction principles, equipment setup protocols, and quality-assurance practices in everyday workflow.
• Review pharmacology, implant compatibility, and representative cases using practical appendices designed for quick consultation.

Use Comprehensive Atlas of Image-guided Spinal Interventions as a structured learning resource, a procedural planning aid, and a dependable desk reference for evidence-informed interventional spine care.
