This diagnostic ultrasound and hands-on image guided spinal injection skills course will provide a comprehensive review of anatomy, pathology, and pathophysiology of injury and degeneration. The course will start with a diagnostic ultrasound scanning session on a live model. The interventional techniques presented in the pre-course didactic videos will be practiced under the direct supervision of the instructor(s) in order to enable participants to become proficient with these skills.
