Radiological Anatomy and Approaches to the Spine

  • Chapter
Interventional Neuroradiology of the Spine

Abstract

The fundamental concept of normal anatomy of the spine is crucial for a correct approach to minimally invasive spinal treatments. In this chapter, the spinal anatomy and paravertebral soft tissue will be discussed because they represent the “roadmap” during the percutaneous procedures carried out under fluoroscopic or computed tomography (CT) guidance.
