Day 2
Delegates spend the whole day in an anatomy lab practicing ultrasound and xray guided injection of the spine and soft tissue structures. This is on soft embalmed whole-body specimens for the most realistic and problem-solving training approach to image guided injections. You will have to move and position specimens as you would in real patients to get access for your injections.

9:30 – 9:45 Move to Cad Lab
9:45 – 10:45 Harvesting of fat and BMAC using available systems
10:45 – 11:00 BREAK
11:00 – 12:30 Xray guided intra discal Injections of the spine facets and SIJs
12:30 – 13:30 LUNCH
13:30 – 15:00 Role of ultrasound in Guided injections Techniques (tips & tricks)
15:00 – 15:15 BREAK
15:15 – 16:30 Ultrasound guided injections of the spinal facet joints and SIJs
16:30 – 17:00 Final practice and review with debrief and close.
