The technique of lipid isolates from the acid-resistant archaea Sulfolobus ventriculography was invented by American neurosurgeon Walter islandicus, which confers on the order of 10% survival of Dandy in 1918. By injecting filtered air directly into one or both liposome-encapsulated agents as they pass through the lateral ventricles of the brain, X-ray images of the ventricular system stomach.

Dandy also discovered that air conducting and interpreting neuroimaging in a clinical injected into the subarachnoid space through lumbar spinal setting. Neuroimaging is divided into two categories: puncture could penetrate the cerebral ventricles, as well as the 1.

Prior to this transfer, the Federal Radiation Council developed reports which provided the basis for guidance recommended to the President for use by Federal agencies in developing standards for a wide range of radiation exposure circumstances. This report, which was prepared in cooperation with an Interagency Working Group on Medical Radiation formed on July 5, 1974, constitutes a similar objective to provide the basis for recommendations to reduce unnecessary radiation exposure due to medical uses of diagnostic x rays. The Interagency Working Group developed its recommendations with the help of two subcommittees. The Subcommittee on Prescription of Exposure to X rays examined factors to eliminate clinically unproductive examinations and the Subcommittee on Technic of Exposure Prevention examined factors to assure the use of optimal technic in performing x-ray examinations. Both subcommittees also considered the importance of appropriate and properly functioning equipment in producing radiographs of the required diagnostic quality with minimal exposure. Reports by these subcommittees were made available for public comment.

Stroke patients were not often found in the ICU. Poliomyelitis, and its associated neuromuscular respiratory failure, cre- ated a natural intersection of neurology with critical care; such was not the case for stroke patients. Early textbooks describe that the primary decision in the emergency department was to ascertain whether a patient could swallow. If so, the patient was discharged with the advice that nothing could be done for the stroke. If unable to swallow, a nasogastric tube was inserted and then the patient was discharged with the same advice. In the 50 intervening years, many advances in stroke care have been made. Now, acute cerebrovascular patients are not infrequent admissions to an ICU for neurologic monitoring, observa- tion, and aggressive therapy (Fig. 1). HISTORY Over 50 years ago, stroke, previously called “apoplexy” which means “struck down with violence” or “to strike suddenly,” was a clinical diagnosis that was confirmed by autopsy as a disease of the CNS of vascular origin (1). In the 1960s, approximately 25% of stroke patients died within 24 hours and nearly half died within 2 to 3 weeks.

  • Neuroradiology Back to the Future: Brain Imaging
    Published December 8, 2011 as 10.3174/ajnr.A2936 50TH ANNIVERSARY PERSPECTIVES Neuroradiology Back to the Future: Brain Imaging E.G. Hoeffner SUMMARY: The beginning of neuroradiology can be traced to the early 1900s with the use of skull S.K. Mukherji radiographs. Ventriculography and pneumoencephalography were introduced in 1918 and 1919, re- spectively, and carotid angiography, in 1927. Technical advances were made in these procedures A. Srinivasan during the next 40 years that lead to improved diagnosis of intracranial pathology. Yet, they remained D.J. Quint invasive procedures that were often uncomfortable and associated with significant morbidity. The introduction of CT in 1971 revolutionized neuroradiology. Ventriculography and pneumoencephalogra- phy were rendered obsolete. The imaging revolution continued with the advent of MR imaging in the early 1980s. Noninvasive angiographic techniques have curtailed the use of conventional angiography, and physiologic imaging gives us a window into the function of the brain. In this historical review, we will trace the origin and evolution of the advances that have led to the quicker, less invasive diagnosis and resulted in more rapid therapy and improved outcomes.

The course will cover several imaging techniques and their applications in studying human behavior and brain function. The course starts by an overview of in vivo neuroimaging in animals and humans. It then covers the basics of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): physics of image formation, resolution limits, physiological basis of fMRI signal, etc. We will discuss statistical, data analysis, and date interpretation issues. Other topics include diffusion and perfusion MRI, pharmacological imaging (e.g., PET), neuromodulation (e.g., TMS), etc. In the lab portion, students will receive training on fMRI experimental design, image acquisition, and image processing and analysis. Class Format The class will be in the format of seminar style lectures, laboratory exercises and discussions. Students will conduct a group project in the form of a small scale experiment to practice the basic neuroimaging skills. Credits: 0-1: lectures only; 3: lectures and lab (mandatory) COURSE PREREQUISITE ( optional but preferred): Basic matlab and scripting skills, and introductory or college-level subjects in biopsychology (e.g., Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience and Neuroanatomy), probability, linear algebra, differential equations, physiology, chemistry, and physics. COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Obtain a basic understanding of various brain imaging approaches and techniques used for studying human and animal brain function.

  • GUIDELINE for DIAGNOSIS and MANAGEMENT of POST DURAL PUNCTURE HEADACHE in OBSTETRICS Background Symptoms of PDPH
    GUIDELINE FOR DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF POST DURAL PUNCTURE HEADACHE IN OBSTETRICS Background CSF acts as a cushion supporting and protecting the brain. Leakage of CSF from the subarachnoid space through a dural breach, can lead to loss of this support. The resulting traction on the innervated tissues around the brain can be responsible for the headache that follows.This headache, called post-dural puncture (PDPH), or low-pressure headache (LPH), is postural and usually self limiting, appearing on the first or second day after dural puncture and lasting less than seven days. However, in cases where the headache is severe enough that the mother is unable to cope with her normal daily tasks and look after her newborn baby, conservative management becomes unsustainable. Epidural blood patch (EBP), if not contraindicated, is the treatment of choice in these cases, especially if symptoms suggestive of cranial nerve involvement are present. The incidence and severity of headache is directly related to the size and the design of the needle used. The majority of parturients suffering inadvertent dural puncture with a Tuohy needle will develop a PDPH, severe enough to require EBP, while the introduction of small-gauge needles with pencil points has greatly reduced the incidence of headaches after spinal anaesthesia. Although the headache is self limiting, the possibility, however remote, of a serious complication such as a subdural haematoma to occur if the hole in the dura is not sealed, has to be kept in mind. Symptoms of PDPH PDPH is classically fronto-occipital and is often associated with neck stiffness.
