title: Innovation in image-guided spine intervention.
abstract: Image-guided spine intervention continues to evolve and is still an intellectually active field. But it is important not to confuse market and commercial success with intellectual, medical, or long-term success. What drives this evolution and innovation, and where is the activity currently? The history of vertebroplasty is a good case in point.
