RESUMO
This year, Acta Radiologica marks its 100th anniversary. In this article, the authors present some of the highlights from the close collaboration between Swedish neuroradiology and Acta Radiologica over the last 100 years.

Although radiography of the spine began shortly after Roentgen's discovery in 1895, there was little written in the medical literature about spine imaging until nearly 25 years later with the development of myelography, first by using air and then a variety of positive contrast agents. The history of spine imaging before CT and MR imaging is, in large part, a history of the development of contrast agents for intrathecal use. The advent of CT and, more important, MR imaging revolutionized spine imaging. The spinal cord and its surrounding structures could now be noninvasively visualized in great detail. In situations in which myelography is still necessary, advances in contrast agents have made the procedure less painful with fewer side effects. In this historical review, we will trace the evolution of spine imaging that has led to less invasive techniques for the evaluation of the spine and its contents and has resulted in more rapid, more specific diagnosis, therapy, and improved outcomes.

The beginning of neuroradiology can be traced to the early 1900s with the use of skull radiographs. Ventriculography and pneumoencephalography were introduced in 1918 and 1919, respectively, and carotid angiography, in 1927. Technical advances were made in these procedures during the next 40 years that lead to improved diagnosis of intracranial pathology. Yet, they remained invasive procedures that were often uncomfortable and associated with significant morbidity. The introduction of CT in 1971 revolutionized neuroradiology. Ventriculography and pneumoencephalography 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.

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the laboral and intellectual contributions of a founder of Brazilian Neuroradiology to the development of specialty. METHOD: Interviews were conducted with Dr. Raupp and contemporary doctors. Then we made a literature review with the Raupp search term aiming to identify those papers which included major changes in the diagnostic and therapeutic neurosurgical. RESULTS: The colleagues consulted were unanimous in recognizing the work of avant-garde and the importance of Dr. Raupp to the development of neuroradiological methods, especially in the pre-computed tomography fase. CONCLUSION: The work of Dr. Raupp was fundamental for the consolidation of Brazilian Neuroradiological School over the past five decades. He developed diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in congruence with the practices of the specialty on the global stage and he promoted education through medical residency programs.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a contribuição laboral e intelectual de um dos fundadores da Neurorradiologia Brasileira para o desenvolvimento da especialidade. MÉTODO: Foram realizadas entrevistas com o Dr. Raupp e com médicos contemporâneos. Em seguida, foi feita uma revisão de literatura com o termo Raupp com o objetivo de identificar os trabalhos que definiram mudanças importantes na avaliação diagnóstica e terapêutica neurocirúrgica. RESULTADOS: Os colegas consultados foram unânimes no reconhecimento do trabalho de vanguarda e da importância do Dr. Raupp no desenvolvimento das técnicas neurorradiológicas, especialmente na fase pré-tomografia computadorizada. CONCLUSÃO: O trabalho do Dr. Raupp foi fundamental para a consolidação da Escola Neurorradiológica Brasileira ao longo das últimas cinco décadas. Ele desenvolveu técnicas diagnóstica e terapêutica em congruência com as práticas da especialidade no cenário mundial e promoveu o ensino através dos programas de residência médica.

Wertheim Salomonson was the first specialist for nervous diseases at the University of Amsterdam. He was based in the department of internal medicine of the 'Binnengasthuis'. Through his keen interest in physics he introduced the medical community in The Netherlands firstly to the use of electricity in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disease and subsequently to the application of X-rays. His clinical expertise was greatest in disorders of muscle and the peripheral nervous system.
