The use of multimodal neuroimaging techniques has been helpful in the investigation of epileptogenic zone in patients with refractory epilepsies. This work aims to describe an ictal event during EEG-fMRI performed simultaneously in a 39-year-old man with refractory epilepsy. The EEG data were recorded at a sampling rate of 5 kHz, using a BrainAmp (BrainProducts, München, Germany) amplifier, with 64 MR (magnetic resonance) compatible Ag/AgCl electrodes. MR images were acquired using a 3T scanner in 3 sequences of 6 minutes of echo-planar images (EPIs), with TR = 2s, being the last sequence stopped after the ictal event. The EEG was corrected for gradient and pulse artifacts using the Brain Vision Analyzer2 software (BrainProducts), and the functional images were realigned, slice-timing corrected, normalized and smoothed. The start of the ictal changes was used for the evaluation of the BOLD response in MR images, using a t-test with a minimum cluster of 5 voxels, p <0.005 (T>2.5). The patient had a partial complex seizure, as noted by neurologist. The fMRI data showed positive BOLD responses (activation) in dysplastic areas, but showed the most significant activation outside the lesion, in areas compatible with secondary spread of the epileptic focus, probably caused by motor reaction also observed during the seizure. As a conclusion, we note that the technique of EEG-fMRI can detect the epileptogenic zone in patients with refractory epilepsy, but areas of dissemination of primary epileptogenic focus may show significant activation, introducing additional difficulties to the interpretation of the results

By the early 20th century, the blood vessels could only be seen by anatomical studies. Shortly after the discovery of X-rays by Conrad Roentgen in 1895, the first experiments with radiographic imaging were performed with blood vessels. In 1905, the first experiment involving catheterization of arterial and venous system in dogs was performed and only in 1914 performed on living human patients. Parallel to these landmarks, there were advances in diagnostic imaging devices and the evolution of contrast substances was of utmost importance to the current angiography occupy a prominent role not only in terms of diagnosis, but also in the treatment of various disorders. The main objective of this review is to weave historical considerations and comparisons between the different methodologies used in angiography, because its importance; that may be in future, a veterinary diagnostic decisive test

OBJETIVO: Demonstrar os achados em ressonância magnética (RM) da tromboflebite plantar. MÉTODOS: Revisão retrospectiva de 20 pacientes com dor na região plantar nos quais os achados de ressonância magnética indicaram tromboflebite plantar. RESULTADOS: Foram avaliados 14 homens e seis mulheres, com idade média de 46,7 anos. Oito desses pacientes também foram submetidos à ultrassonografia com doppler, que confirmaram a tromboflebite. As imagens de ressonância magnética foram avaliadas em consenso por dois radiologistas com experiência em radiologia do sistema musculoesquelético (mais de 10 anos cada um), demonstrando edema perivascular em todos os 20 pacientes (100%) e edema muscular em 19 dos 20 pacientes (95%). Todos os 20 pacientes apresentavam intensidade de sinal intermediária intraluminal em T2 (100%) e ectasia venosa estava presente em 17 dos 20 casos (85%). Veias colaterais foram visualizadas em um dos 20 pacientes (5%). Todos os 14 casos (100%), nos quais o contraste intravenoso foi administrado, apresentavam realce dos tecidos perivenulares e defeito de enchimento intraluminal. Ectasia venosa, perda da compressibilidade e ausência de fluxo na ultrassonografia com doppler também foram observados em todos os oito casos examinados pelo método. CONCLUSÕES: A RM é um método sensível na avaliação de tromboflebite plantar em pacientes com dor plantar.
