Interventional Spine Symposium

A review of image guided interventions of the spine, including clinical presentation, diagnostic pearls, and procedural cases examples. We will discuss new procedures, techniques and data, as they pertain to a variety of disease entities related to the spine, from cryptogenic back pain to CSF leak diagnosis and intervention.

Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to:
 

1. Recognize the key imaging features critical to the diagnosis and management of spine oncology in interventional radiology practice.
2. Identify and describe image-guided treatment options for managing pelvic pain, including minimally invasive interventions.
3. Apply optimized techniques for low-dose imaging during image-guided procedures to enhance patient safety and diagnostic accuracy.
