title: Use of Imaging in the Management of Metastatic Spine Disease With Percutaneous Ablation and Vertebral Augmentation.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this article is to describe the role of imaging in the management of metastatic spine disease with percutaneous ablation and vertebral augmentation. Topics include the imaging diagnosis of spinal metastases, imaging factors related to patient selection and procedural planning, intraprocedural imaging guidance, and posttreatment imaging assessment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Radiologists should be familiar with pertinent imaging findings related to the percutaneous management of metastatic spine disease.
