Intraspinal Injection Guided By Imaging
Intraspinal injection guided by imaging is a minimally-invasive medical procedure in which a physician injects a medicine, such as a local anesthetic or steroid, in a patient’s spine to manage pain. It is performed using imaging technology to ensure the exact, targeted placement of the injection.
Physicians may recommend a patient receive an intraspinal injection guided by imaging if they are experiencing chronic pain in or around the spinal column. The injection may be used to reduce inflammation, provide relief from pain, or diagnose the cause of the pain.
Before the procedure, the patient is usually asked to lie on their stomach or side on a table, although the exact position may be determined by the physician or deciding hospital staff. After applying an antiseptic to the injection site, the physician guides the needle through the image (usually CT or MRI) and injects the medicine while monitoring the exact location of the injection.
Immediately after the procedure, the patient may experience some mild discomfort at the injection site. Any pain or swelling should subside within several days. If the patient experiences more severe or persistent pain, they should contact their physician.
