Title: Visualization of Spinal Injection Procedures Using Gadolinium Contrast
Abstract: A series of six case reports.The case reports demonstrate successful use of gadolinium contrast for visualization of spinal injection procedures.A variety of spinal injection procedures were performed with gadolinium contrast. Adequate visualization was accomplished with gadolinium in performing these injections and demonstrated that it is a viable alternative to nonionic iodinated contrast materials.The case reports included a chart review, performance of spinal injections with gadolinium under fluoroscopic guidance, and postprocedure follow-up at 2 and 12 weeks.Gadolinium was visible under fluoroscopy in all six cases, demonstrating its value in performing spinal injection procedures as an alternative to nonionic iodinated contrast materials.Gadolinium is a viable alternative to nonionic iodinated contrast materials for visualization of spinal injection procedures.
