pneumoencephalography

The history of neuroimaging, began in the early 1900s with a technique called pneumoencephalography.

Today, pneumoencephalography is limited to the research field and is used under rare circumstances.

In 1919, Dandy published a less invasive technique that he labelled pneumoencephalography.

Pneumoencephalography was performed extensively throughout the early 20th century, but it was extremely painful.

I was performing a pneumoencephalography to determine if there are any intracerebral hemorrhages."

In addition, he was one of the first physicians to become interested in the possibilities of a procedure known as pneumoencephalography.

This technique was called pneumoencephalography.

Ventriculography and pneumoencephalography allowed neurosurgeons for the first time to visualize brain lesions on x-rays.

In 1918 and 1919 Dandy published his landmark papers on air ventriculography and the associated technique of pneumoencephalography.

Dr Bradley was also credited with the invention of a device to make pneumoencephalography in children easier and wrote widely on childhood schizophrenia.

A very modern radiology department with facility for sophisticated cerebral angiography, pneumoencephalography, air ventriculography, myelography etc. was established in 1954.

Until the 1950s, the diagnosis of pituitary disease remained based on clinical features and visual field examination, sometimes aided by pneumoencephalography and X-ray tomography.

Cerebral angiography, pneumoencephalography, and a CAT scan can be done, but it is the combined opinion that the results would be normal.

Modern imaging techniques such as MRI and Computed tomography have rendered pneumoencephalography obsolete.

The most widely used radioanatomical classification was based primarily on a neuroradiological examination including skull x-rays, pneumoencephalography, polytomography, and carotid angiography.

Included in the workup was pneumoencephalography, a study which often led to severe headaches which Dr. Bradley assumed resulted from the loss of spinal fluid.

However, contrasted brain radiography (particularly pneumoencephalography and ventriculography) permitted the visualization of intracranial anatomic reference points or landmarks.

Oldendorf's interest neuroimaging was precipitated by a dislike for invasive procedures (like pneumoencephalography and direct carotid puncture) that he performed as a clinical neurologist.

Ventriculography and pneumoencephalography allowed neurosurgeons to accurately identify the location and size of tumors and other lesions and then accurately target their operative approach.

Pneumoencephalography appears in popular culture in the movie The Exorcist (1973), when Linda Blair's Regan MacNeil character undergoes the procedure.

N.J. Berkwitz and L.G. Rigler showed it was possible to diagnose tuberous sclerosis using pneumoencephalography to highlight non-calcified subependymal nodules.

Malformations of the cerebellar vermis were first identified using pneumoencephalography, where air is injected into the cerebrospinal fluid spaces of the cerebellum; displaced, occluded or dysplastic structures could be identified.

To accomplish this, CSF in the ventricles and subarachnoid space was replaced with air injected either directly into the ventricles (ventriculography) or into the lumbar subarachnoid space (pneumoencephalography).

Then he moved on, spending a few years in neuroradiology, where he made a special chair for injecting air into the spinal space to fill the brain's ventricles and ease the diagnosis of tumors, a technique known as pneumoencephalography.

The first brain image of an individual with psychosis was completed as far back as 1935 using a technique called pneumoencephalography (a painful and now obsolete procedure where cerebrospinal fluid is drained from around the brain and replaced with air to allow the structure of the brain to show up more clearly on an X-ray picture).
