Spread of contrast during L4 and L5 nerve root infiltration under fluoroscopic guidance.
BACKGROUND Lumbar selective nerve root blocks have been performed to establish the origin of lumbar radiculopathy in clinically difficult cases. The diagnostic ability of selective nerve root blocks remains controversial because of concern over potential spread of an injectate onto adjacent structures. OBJECTIVE To investigate the spread of different volumes of water-soluble contrast during L...

متن کاملNerve root infiltration of the first sacral root with MRI guidance.
The purpose of this clinical trial was to describe the methodology and evaluate the accuracy of optical tracking-based magnetic resonance (MR)-guided infiltration of the first sacral (S1) root. Thirty-five infiltrations were performed on 34 patients with a 0. 23-T open C-arm magnet installed in a fully equipped operation room with large-screen (36 inches) display and optical navigator utilizing...
متن کاملSelective lumbar nerve root blocks with CT fluoroscopic guidance: technique, results, procedure time, and radiation dose.
CT fluoroscopy may be used as a rapid and effective means of guiding needle placement when performing selective lumbar nerve root blocks. In this set of patients, the average external radiation dose was 0.73 mrem per procedure, with an average of 2 seconds of CT-fluoroscopy time and four images per procedure. Average physician room time was 7 minutes. Use of intermittent CT fluoroscopy during l...
