Image-guided epidural steroid injections are safe and effective outpatient procedures for managing neck and back pain. Experienced radiologists can minimize complications, avoiding sedation for optimal patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Pain Management
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Epidural steroid injections are a common treatment for neck and back pain.
  • Image guidance is crucial for accurate and safe epidural injections.
  • Concerns exist regarding self-referral and the potential for abuse in pain management procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the safety and efficacy of image-guided epidural steroid injections.
  • To emphasize the importance of radiologist expertise in performing these procedures.
  • To advocate for the use of epidural steroid injections without sedation.

Main Methods:

  • Performing epidural steroid injections using image guidance and epidurography.
  • Utilizing a deep understanding of radiographic anatomy and imaging equipment.
