Ultrasound and intervention of cervical and thoracic spine
In this three-part series, we will discuss ultrasound of the cervical and thoracic spine and how to perform minimally invasive procedures for different pathologies. We will refresh and update your (sono)anatomy skills and discuss interesting pathology cases.
