You are staring at a fluoroscopy monitor mid-procedure, contrast spreading in a pattern that does not quite match the atlas image in your head, and the needle is already past the lamina.
Interventional spine training moves fast, and most trainees pick up C-arm angles, transforaminal trajectories, and ultrasound probe positions from whoever happens to be supervising that week. The gaps show up later, at the table, when a facet joint will not fill or a caudal needle will not thread.
This 2026 edition closes those gaps with a single reference built around the actual sequence of a procedure day: patient selection and consent, sedation and sterile technique, then a level-by-level walk through cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral injections under both fluoroscopic and ultrasound guidance.
Multiplanar C-arm and ultrasound anatomy for every major spinal and musculoskeletal targetStep-by-step technique for epidural, medial branch, facet, sacroiliac, discography, and vertebral augmentation proceduresComplication recognition, radiation safety, and occupational protection built into every chapterOver 100 clinical teaching videos, unlocked through the QR code printed inside the back cover50 clinical illustrations rendered specifically for this edition, with every anatomic label checked against the textDr. Grant W. Ellison distills two decades of fluoroscopy suite and ultrasound bay experience into a working reference, not a textbook you read once and shelve.
Open to any chapter and you are at the table, not in a lecture hall.
