Technique for CT fluoroscopy-guided cervical interlaminar steroid injections

AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2012 Mar;198(3):675-7. doi: 10.2214/AJR.11.6809.

Abstract

Objective: We describe the use of CT fluoroscopy as a guidance tool for performing interlaminar epidural steroid injections in the cervical spine.

Conclusion: CT fluoroscopy is an alternative method to perform cervical interlaminar steroid injections that allows precise needle placement in the epidural space.
