The atlas provides a clear guide to identify the bony structures as seen on fluoroscopic examination enabling the operator to perform the spinal interventions safely. Remember: Bone is our Eye and Friend when performing spinal interventions under fluoroscopy. Chapters are consistently designedcovering indications, contraindications, equipment needed, and procedural stepswith the text presented in a bulleted style. Including several cases in some of the spinal intervention chapters will prepare the readers to overcome the challenges and the variability that are encountered in clinical practice. Some of the ultrasound-guided techniques described will enable readers to consider performing some pain-relief procedures in remote settings where fluoroscopy or CT guidance is not available.
