INTERVENTIONAL PAIN MANAGEMENT (DE FISH, SECTION EDITOR) Ultrasound Guided Spine Injections: Advancement Over Fluoroscopic Guidance?
نویسندگان
چکیده
This review article discusses the current role of ultrasound in interventional spine practice as both a diagnostic tool and as a modality for image guidance with procedures. Epidemiology of spine pain, the emergence of ultrasound, advantages and disadvantages of ultrasound in comparison to other image modalities are discussed. Recent selected published articles pertaining to the role of ultrasound in the guidance of spinal interventional procedures are reviewed. The potential for the use of ultrasound with spine procedures is discussed as well as further evaluation of its cost-effectiveness, accuracy, safety, and efficacy when compared to the current standards of practice.

Review article: is ultrasound guidance advantageous for interventional pain management? A systematic review of chronic pain outcomes.
BACKGROUND Modern ultrasound (US) is an attractive alternative to anatomical landmark-, nerve stimulation-, and fluoroscopic-guided techniques for interventional procedures performed to treat chronic pain syndromes. METHODS In this review, we evaluated the effects of US guidance compared with traditional guidance techniques on performance, efficacy, and safety outcomes for interventional chro...
متن کاملUltrasound guided versus CT-controlled pararadicular injections in the lumbar spine: a prospective randomized clinical trial.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Injection therapies play a major role in the treatment of lower back pain and are to date performed mainly under CT- or fluoroscopic guidance. We conducted this study to evaluate the accuracy, time savings, radiation doses, and pain relief of US-guided pararadicular injections versus CT-controlled interventions in the lumbar spine in a prospective randomized clinical tria...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided interventional procedures for patients with chronic pelvic pain - a description of techniques and review of literature.
Chronic pelvic pain can present in various pain syndromes. In particular, interventional procedure plays an important diagnostic and therapeutic role in 3 types of pelvic pain syndromes: pudendal neuralgia, piriformis syndrome, and "border nerve" syndrome (ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric, and genitofemoral nerve neuropathy). The objective of this review is to discuss the ultrasound-guided approac...
متن کاملC-arm fluoroscopic cone beam CT for guidance of minimally invasive spine interventions.
BACKGROUND Isocentric C-arm fluoroscopic cone beam CT (CBCT) is a new technique for near real time 3-D volume imaging guidance of percutaneous interventional procedures. In combination with digital flat panel detectors, CBCT has high spatial resolution with isotropic voxel size, allowing for high resolution image reconstruction in any plane, including 3D rotational reconstructions. CBCT combine...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided injections in the lumbar spine.
Injection therapies play a major role in the treatment of low back pain and radiculopathy and are becoming integral parts of a multidisciplinary approach in treatment and rehabilitation of patients with pain. Pararadicular- and facet-joint injections in the lumbar spine are preferentially performed with computed tomography (CT) or fluoroscopy-guidance. In this paper we present an alternative, s...
