Abstract: the visualization of the facet joint by ultrasound involves minimal risk, besides reduction of radiation. This option is suitable for a large part of the population. However, fluoroscopy and computed tomography remain as monitoring techniques indicated for patients with specific characteristics, such as obesity, severe degenerative diseases and anatomical malformations, in which the ultrasound technique is still in need of further study.

“…For example, the success rate for lumbar facet injection was significantly lower in obese patients compared with normal-weight patients when ultrasonography was used for needle guidance. 190,191 Some pain blocks, such as of the sciatic nerve in the gluteal area, can be performed faster with modifications to access the targeted structure better in obese patients. 192 Obese patients are at risk for epidural lipomatosis from epidural injections.…”

“…1922 However, because of the complex spinal anatomy and their similar wave-like patterns (see Figure 3), a key challenge in using ultrasound for needle guidance is interpreting the ultrasound images and accurately identifying the target plane. Therefore, a system which automatically provides the anesthesiologist with feedback for identification of the target plane would be beneficial.…”
