Location: 301 - 302
Introduction: Cervical medial branch blocks are commonly performed procedures with rising concerns about cumulative radiation exposure to both patients and providers. This quality improvement (QI) project aimed to evaluate the impact of a standardized fluoroscopy protocol—including low-dose settings and collimation—on total radiation dose without compromising clinical efficacy.
