title: [Imaging-guided injection techniques of the lumbar spine].
abstract: Spinal injections are an important treatment option in the conservative management of many spinal disorders. A large number of imaging techniques are available to achieve a precise and safe needle placement in interventional procedures. Fluoroscopy-guided injections are safe, cost effective and available in most institutions.
