Abstract

The present work discusses the imaging technologies used in the past and present, with utility in neurosurgery. It represents a brief overview of conventional (equipment that use X-rays) and unconventional (equipment that used electromagnetic radiation and ultrasound) technologies, used in current practice. Radiology as a stand-alone specialty has undergone remarkable development in recent years, helping neurosurgery as a specialty to develop, having the devices necessary for a better diagnosis of lesions of the central and peripheral nervous system, helping to a more efficient surgical planning and an adapted surgical treatment. Both conventional and unconventional radiological techniques represent an essential pillar in the application of basic surgical techniques in neurosurgery. As imaging techniques have undergone exponential development, so has the equipment used undergone improvement and upgrading. At the same time, the accumulation and storage of medical data represents an increasingly greater challenge in recent years. With technological evolution, intellectual property applied to databases containing patient information is becoming increasingly important. The need for centralization and maintaining the security of such information is a field of research.
