Intervention Radiology

As advances in the field continue, intervention radiology is providing a real alternative to surgery for the relief of pain. Commonly a needle is used in the procedure to target the specific site of tissues or nerves responsible for the pain. Procedures performed under the guidance of CT scans include joint aspiration/ injections, facet joint, nerve root and epidural block injections. Procedures performed under ultrasound include injection/ aspirations, core biopsies, fine needle aspiration.
