title: A simple training tool for CT-guided spinal pain management.
abstract: The use of models as training tools to learn and practice medical skills has     become an important part of medical education. Image-guided spinal interventions     for lower back pain are probably one of the most commonly performed procedures     in interventional radiology. Thus, a training model for these types of     interventions would be helpful. This article presents a simple training tool for     computed tomography guided spinal pain interventions. The model is described,     and the potential advantages in training are discussed.
