ACS 2026 Radiology Club Event

This advanced radiology club event focuses on the intersection of diagnostic imaging and interventional procedures in the lumbosacral spine. Participants will examine real-world cases involving common pathologies such as disc herniation, stenosis, facet syndrome, and nerve root compression. The program emphasizes the critical role of imaging in guiding lumbosacral injections, including proper needle placement, target identification, and post-procedural assessment. Through case-based learning, attendees will develop skills in correlating imaging findings with clinical symptoms, selecting appropriate injection sites, and recognizing imaging markers that influence procedural outcomes and patient management decisions.

• •Identify common lumbosacral pathologies on imaging and correlate findings with clinical presentation
• •Evaluate appropriate injection techniques for lumbosacral spine conditions including facet, epidural, and nerve root injections
• •Analyze case presentations to determine optimal imaging modalities and positioning for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures
• •Apply evidence-based criteria for patient selection and contraindications for lumbosacral interventions
• •Interpret post-injection imaging and recognize potential complications or adverse outcomes
• •Integrate imaging findings with clinical examination to develop comprehensive treatment plans for spine pathology
