Neuroradiology Interventions: Spine

Interventional neuroradiology physicians provide minimally invasive percutaneous image-guided diagnostic procedures and treatments for a variety of spinal disorders. Our team offers consultative services at University Hospital Radiology Clinic prior to performing these procedures.

The procedures themselves may be performed at several facilities, with most occurring at William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital.

Consultative Services

• Spinal and paraspinal biopsy
• Percutaneous ablation and augmentation for spinal column neoplasms
• Percutaneous augmentation for osteoporotic fractures
• Epidural, facet joint and synovial cyst injections for pain relief
• Myelography and cisternography
• Cerebrospinal fluid leak diagnosis and treatment
• Intrathecal drug injection
