    Fig 1.

    Oblique anteroposterior view during needle placement. The anteroposterior tube is aligned parallel to the axis of the needle. The hub of the needle obscures the pedicle at the treatment level; however, its position can be estimated by viewing the ipsilateral pedicles at levels immediately above and below (arrows). Note that the angulation of the anteroposterior tube projects into the ipsilateral pedicles approximately 25% medial to the lateral edge of the vertebral body.

    Fig 2.

    Images obtained in a 70-year-old patient with compression fractures at T5-T8. All fractures showed increased uptake on bone scans (not shown).

    A, Anteroposterior view of final needle position at T5-T8. Needles at adjacent levels are staggered with respect to side of approach. The tips of the needles are at or slightly across midline.

    B, Lateral view of final needle position, with needle tips in the anterior third of the vertebral bodies.

    C, Lateral view after cement injection. The cement extends to approximately the posterior 25% of the vertebral body. Note small amounts of venous (short arrow) and end plate (long arrows) cement extravasation.
