Aspects of pain
This issue of C2I2 builds on the success of
previous issues and as, always, a broad
range of topics is covered to ensure that
all readers will find subjects of interest to
them. Two articles in this issue focus on
different aspects of pain–one paper
reviews image-guided techniques for the
management for neck and back pain and
the other examines the choice of analgesic
and sedative agents as adjunctive therapy
for painful radiological procedures.
