SPINE INJECTION-SET UP

From NeuroRehab.wiki

SUMMARY

1. Setup is key!

2. The fluoroscopic trajectory view (AKA hubogram, hub view, needle view, “down-the-barrel,” or coaxial view) provides the initial orientation for needle placement and advancement.

3. Instead of estimating the needle’s trajectory, an unobstructed needle pathway is visualized, and an associated needle entry point is identified.
