Ultrasound-guided versus computed tomography-controlled facet joint injections in the lumbar spine: a prospective randomized clinical trialKlaus Galiano
Clinic of Neurosurgery, Innsbruck Medical University, Innsbruck, Austria
Reg Anesth Pain Med 32:317-22. 2007..Injections are preferentially performed as fluoroscopy or computed tomography (CT)-controlled interventions. Ultrasound provides real-time monitoring, does not produce ionizing radiation, and is broadly available...
Silver segregation and bacterial growth of intraventricular catheters impregnated with silver nanoparticles in cerebrospinal fluid drainagesKlaus Galiano
Department of Neurosurgery, Innsbruck Medical University, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria
Neurol Res 30:285-7. 2008..Silver released from these new catheters should have an anti-microbacterial effect. This study examines the silver ion release and a potential effect of bacterial growth in an in vitro experiment...
Correlation of outcome to neurosurgical lesions: confirmation of a new method using data after microelectrode-guided pallidotomyA A Obwegeser
Department of Neurosurgery, Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, Florida, USA
Br J Neurosurg 22:654-62. 2008..This method enables associative analyses between brain area and outcome down to the size of a few voxels. This may be particularly helpful for planning and validating neurosurgical targets for various disorders...
Ultrasound-guided and CT-navigation-assisted periradicular and facet joint injections in the lumbar and cervical spine: a new teaching tool to recognize the sonoanatomic patternKlaus Galiano
Clinic of Neurosurgery, Medical University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria
Reg Anesth Pain Med 32:254-7. 2007..The aim of this study is to provide a teaching tool to facilitate the acquirement of periradicular and facet-joint infiltration techniques in the cervical and lumbar spine...

Med Ultrason 13:54-8. 2011..In this paper we present an alternative, simple and easy to learn US-guided technique for injection therapy in the lumbar spine...
Ultrasound-guided facet joint injections in the middle to lower cervical spine: a CT-controlled sonoanatomic studyKlaus Galiano
Clinic of Neurosurgery, Innsbruck Medical University, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria
Clin J Pain 22:538-43. 2006..DISCUSSION: This preclinical study suggests that ultrasound is a useful guiding tool for facet joint injections in the cervical spine...
Ultrasound guidance for facet joint injections in the lumbar spine: a computed tomography-controlled feasibility studyKlaus Galiano
Clinic of Neurosurgery, Leopold-Franzens-University, Innsbruck, Austria
Anesth Analg 101:579-83, table of contents. 2005..The imaging study demonstrated a significant correlation between ultrasound and computed tomography measurements. During simulated facet injection, ultrasound guidance consistently resulted in accurate needle placement...
Ultrasound-guided periradicular injections in the middle to lower cervical spine: an imaging study of a new approachKlaus Galiano
Clinics of Neurosurgery, Medical University of Innsbruck, Austria
Reg Anesth Pain Med 30:391-6. 2005..CONCLUSIONS: This preclinical study suggests that ultrasound is a useful guiding tool for periradicular injections in the cervical spine...
Real-time sonographic imaging for periradicular injections in the lumbar spine: a sonographic anatomic study of a new techniqueKlaus Galiano
Clinic of Neurosurgery, University of Innsbruck, Anichstrasse 35, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria
J Ultrasound Med 24:33-8. 2005..We conducted this study to develop a sonographically guided approach to the spinal nerve of the lumbar spine and to assess its feasibility and accuracy by means of computed tomography (CT)...
