Abstract
Abstract: Spinal pain interventions are traditionally performed exclusively using landmarks or fluoroscopy or computed tomography. However, ultrasound offers a radiation-free method that not only takes individual anatomy into account but also allows for highly precise infiltration. This significantly reduces intervention times and improves patient comfort.
期刊介绍:
Ultraschall in der Medizin / European Journal of Ultrasound publishes scientific papers and contributions from a variety of disciplines on the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of ultrasound with an emphasis on clinical application. Technical papers with a physiological theme as well as the interaction between ultrasound and biological systems might also occasionally be considered for peer review and publication, provided that the translational relevance is high and the link with clinical applications is tight. The editors and the publishers reserve the right to publish selected articles online only. Authors are welcome to submit supplementary video material. Letters and comments are also accepted, promoting a vivid exchange of opinions and scientific discussions.
