Spine and Spinal Cord

Abstract

Pain clinic treatment mainly consists of the nerve blockade. Recently, the visualization of the needle by under-fluoroscopy, ultrasound guidance and CT-guided nerve blockade has become common to reach the intended nerve site safely while watching the needle. This means that radiologists could perform the same maneuver such as test or treatments using the same equipment. We assume that radiologists can obtain even a better outcome, if applying nerve blockade.
