Some simple advice.
I have tried lots of techniques over the years, and settled on this one.
The overall goal is to get the needles to take trajectories about parallel to the vertebral bodies as they land in the SAP/TP groove. Every patient is slightly different, some much more so than others, so having a technique that is flexible enough to account for this is helpful.
Do L4 and the sacral ala first (anatomical levels here, not MBs). These can be placed in about the same caudo-cranial plane.
1) Square L4 with the beam. This is about perpendicular to the table for most patients. Maybe slight caudad angulation.
2) Place sacral ala needle coaxial with the beam. Place pointer needle next to L4 SAP. Oblique beam to 20-25°. Line up the pointer with a point superior/inferior where you'd like to land on the pedicle. Swing back to AP. Starting position is more superior than you thought it would be, huh? Adjust medial/lateral position of the pointer needle so you have enough room to clear the SAP as you advance into the groove between the SAP and TP. Place the needle in AP, then check oblique. Doesn't that look nice?
3) Repeat with L3, which is usually squared slightly more caudad than L3.
4) Place L5 needle last, since that requires some cranial angulation. You will find that L4 and L5 needles come pretty close for patients with a lot of curvature.
This technique takes a bit more time than just picking a view and slamming the needles in, but you will avoid discovering too late that certain needles are poorly placed.
