“…The technology of medical imaging, such as digital cerebral angiography and three-dimensional (3D) mapping of brain vessels, has achieved relevant advances in interventional neuroradiology. A number of recent publications in Brazil highlight the importance of neuroradiology for diagnosis and treatment of several diseases (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) .…”

Objective: The present study was aimed at estimating the doses received by physicians and patients during cerebral angiography procedures in a public hospital of Recife, PE, Brazil. Materials and Methods: The study sample included 158 adult patients, and during the procedures the following parameters were evaluated: exposure parameters (kV, mAs), number of acquired images, reference air kerma value (K a,r) and air kerma-area product (P KA). Additionally, the physicians involved in the procedures were evaluated as for absorbed dose in the eyes, thyroid, chest, hands and feet. Results: The results demonstrated that the doses to the patients' eyes region were relatively close to the threshold for cataract occurrence. As regards the physicians, the average effective dose was 2.6 µSv, and the highest effective dose recorded was 16 µSv. Conclusion: Depending on the number of procedures, the doses received by the physicians may exceed the annual dose limit for the crystalline lenses (20 mSv) established by national and international standards. It is important to note that the high doses received by the physicians are due to the lack of radiation protection equipment and accessories, such as leaded curtains, screens and protective goggles.

“…Calcifications, which represent the final stage, are the most common radiological findings among NCC cases. The presence of perilesional edema around a calcification supports the diagnosis of NCC reactivation, which can lead to headaches, seizures, and disabling epilepsy 2,3 . Some hypotheses can explain the reactivation of the disease.…”

“…Neurocysticercosis (NCC) develops after the ingestion of Taenia solium eggs and represents the parasitic disease with the greatest tropism for the human central nervous system 1 . It is the most prevalent cause of acquired epilepsy and is a major public health problem worldwide 1 , 2 . Calcifications, which represent the final stage, are the most common radiological findings among NCC cases.…”

“…Some hypotheses can explain the reactivation of the disease. For example, perilesional edema may have resulted from the death of parasites that were still viable and incompletely calcified 2 , 3 . Another possibility is the release of antigens from dead cysticerci, which, for unclear reasons, can be recognized by the host, triggering an inflammatory response 2 .…”

Objective To identify and analyze the prevalence of cranial computed tomography findings in patients admitted to the emergency unit of Hospital Universitário Cajuru. Materials and Methods Cross-sectional study analyzing 200 consecutive non contrast-enhanced cranial computed tomography reports of patients admitted to the emergency unit of Hospital Universitário Cajuru. Results Alterations were observed in 76.5% of the patients. Among them, the following findings were most frequently observed: extracranial soft tissue swelling (22%), bone fracture (16.5%), subarachnoid hemorrhage (15%), nonspecific hypodensity (14.5%), paranasal sinuses opacification (11.5%), diffuse cerebral edema (10.5%), subdural hematoma (9.5%), cerebral contusion (8.5%), hydrocephalus (8%), retractable hypodensity /gliosis/ encephalomalacia (8%). Conclusion The authors recognize that the most common findings in emergency departments reported in the literature are similar to the ones described in the present study. This information is important for professionals to recognize the main changes to be identified at cranial computed tomography, and for future planning and hospital screening aiming at achieving efficiency and improvement in services.
