Minimally invasive procedures are common practice for pain management in pediatrics. The use of image guided therapies for axial skeletal pain management have been proven to not only be safe and effective, but also can be performed routinely in the interventional radiology (IR) department. The goal of this educational exhibit is to illustrate image guided techniques for pain management in pediatric patients. Specifically, techniques involving image-guided injections for treatment of headache, back pain, and other axial skeletal sources will be highlighted. Read More
