[Development of neuroradiology. From the visualization of bones to molecular imaging].
Since the discovery of X-rays, rapid and significant progress has been and continues to be made in imaging techniques, particularly neuroradiology. Milestones along the way included use of contrast agents, digital subtraction angiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. The most recent achievements are visualization of cerebral activation and fiber systems in the brain parenchyma. Application of new contrast agents seems to make imaging at the "molecular" level also possible.
