ABSTRACT

Introducción. Hasta finales del siglo XIX, el sistema nervioso central es prácticamente inaccesible a la observación directa. El descubrimiento en 1895 de los rayos X y su posterior aplicación médica constituyen un cambio de paradigma que revoluciona por completo la manera en que se practica la neurología. La posibilidad de visualizar el interior del encéfalo tiene un impacto mayúsculo en la práctica clínica y enriquece el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de patologías cerebrales de una forma hasta entonces inimaginable. Desarrollo. El propósito de este trabajo es describir el nacimiento y el desarrollo de la imagen médica cerebral: partimos del descubrimiento de los rayos X y del inicio de la radiografía hasta llegar a la aparición en la década de los setenta de la tomografía computarizada y la resonancia magnética, técnicas que cambiarían el mundo del diagnóstico por imagen. En este breve recorrido por la historia de la neurorradiología también se incluye el origen de la angiografía y otras técnicas actualmente en desuso, pero que en su momento constituyeron una auténtica revolución; tal es el caso de la ventriculografía o la neumoencefalografía. Conclusiones. Los procedimientos y técnicas descritos en este artículo han permitido visualizar el interior del cerebro, facilitando el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de múltiples procesos neurológicos (AU)


Introduction. Until the late 19th century, direct observation of the central nervous system was practically impossible. The discovery of X-rays in 1895 and their subsequent application in the field of medicine brought about a shift of paradigm that completely revolutionised the way in which neurology was practised. The possibility of viewing the inside of the brain had a pronounced impact on clinical practice, and enriched the diagnosis and treatment of brain pathologies in a manner that was unimaginable up until then. Development. The aim of this study is to describe the birth and development of medical imaging of the brain, from the discovery of X-rays and the early days of radiography to the appearance of computerised tomography and magnetic resonance in the 60s, both of which are techniques that were to change the world of diagnostic imaging forever. This brief overview of the history of radiology also includes the origins of angiography and other techniques that are no longer in use, but which were ground-breaking innovations in their time, such as ventriculography or pneumoencephalography. Conclusions. The procedures and techniques described in this article made it possible to view the inside of the brain, thereby facilitating the diagnosis and treatment of a number of neurological processes (AU)

ABSTRACT

Developments in anaesthesia for intracranial surgery over the past 35 years are illustrated by a comparison of personal practice in 1943-45 and in 1977-79, with some reference to techniques developed during the intervening years.
