La part prise par GÖSTA FORSSELL dans les progrès de la radiologie médicale est bien connue de tous les lecteurs des Acta Radiologica. La contribution que GÖSTA FORSSELL a apportée à la radiologie ne peut encore être considérée dans son entier, puisque, à la veille de ses 65 ans, se trouvant encore à l’apogée de ses facultés d’homme de sciences et d’organisateur, il s’occupe actuellement à la mise au point de sa mémorable découverte de l’autoplasie de la muqueuse dans l’appareil digestif. Puisse-t-il lui être permis de poursuivre dans la plénitude de ses forces l’oeuvre scientifique de sa vie et, pendant longtemps encore, de consacrer ses efforts à la prospérité et à l’avenir de la radiologie médicale. Lorsqu’en 1926 GÖSTA FORSSELL célébra son cinquantenaire, il fut grandiosement fêté par ses amis et ses disciples. 120 radiologistes de 13 pays différents ont résumé les expériences qu’ils avaient réalisées dans les domaines des recherches de la radiologie médicale dans une publication jubilaire qui lui fut consacrée, Xenia Forsselliana, pars I et II, formant les tomes VI et VII des Acta Radiologica. Aujourd’hui, de néfastes circonstances extérieures ne permettent pas aux nombreux amis de GÖSTA FORSSELL, dans tous les pays, de se réunir et de lui rendre l’hommage qui lui est si légitimement dû. Les élèves et amis travaillant maintenant dans les institutions scientifiques qu’il a créées, les services de röntgen de l’Hôpital des Séraphins et de l’Hôpital Carolin ainsi que le Radiumhemmet avec ses services de recherches, ont cependant voulu célébrer son activité de savant en éditant la pars III de Xenia Forsselliana, qui, formant les fascicules 1 et 2, tome XXII, des Acta Radiologica, expose les résultats obtenus par ces institutions au cours de leurs différentes recherches pendant les dernières années.","PeriodicalId":87169,"journal":{"name":"Acta radiologica.

Since then, the same principles of examination have been applied to an ever-increasing number of the deep blood vessels. The aorta abdominalis and its branches to the abdominal organs were made opaque to roentgen rays by DOS SANTOS, LAMAS & CALDAS in 1929. Two years later, EGAS MONIZ, DE CARVALHO & LIMA introduced arteriographic examination of the pulmonary blood vessels by Forssman’s technique, and in 1936 NUVOLI opacified the aorta thoracalis. Finally, in 1938, CASTELLANOS, PEREIRAS & GARCIA, and ROBB & STEINBERG succeeded in outlining all the chambers of the heart and the great central vessels. The major part of the human circulatory system has thus been made available for intravital exploration. There still exists, however, an important part of the visceral vascular system which lies outside the scope of the angiographic technique, namely, the coronary blood vessels. These vessels have already been the subject of roentgenographic study in the living subject. Thus, in coronary sclerosis, mural calcareous deposits, in some instances combined with regional pathologic changes in the outline of the myocardium, have been described (R. LENK, 1927). While precipitation of calcium can occur in atheromatous coronary arteries with unimpaired function, a secondary circumscribed change in the contour of the heart and the amplitude of contractions, in coronary thrombosis, seems to be of more significance from the diagnostic point of view (LEVENE & REID, 1932). Provided the intervention could be done without undue risk for the patient the visualizing of these vessels would serve as a further aid in the roentgen diagnosis of diseases of the coronary vessels. It is obvious that direct puncturing of coronary arteries is a serious intervention involving risk for the patient’s life, and it should therefore not be done merely in the interests of diagnosis. A more suitable measure seems to be to place the radiopaque substance, after puncturing, in the blood cistern from which these arteries are fed, in other words, in the bulb of the aorta. Working on the basis of this reasoning, P. ROUSTHÖI in 1933 was able to demonstrate that opacification starting from the ascending aorta was possible in different animals. (See fig. 1.) Having confirmed, in the dog, the observations of ROUSTHÖI the next step of the present author was to apply the experiences gained with animals to man. In this connection, a number of technical problems arose, most of which were finally overcome. As far as the technique of injection is concerned, it was already known that NUVOLI had punctured the ascending aorta through the sternum without complications. AS NUVOLI’S paper was only available in the form of a short review the details of his method are not known. His object was to study an aneurysm on the aortic arch b","PeriodicalId":87169,"journal":{"name":"Acta radiologica.

From results gained in experiments on dogs (HILAL 1966) and cats (LINDGREN et coll. 1967, 1968) it has been concluded that this vasodilatation is to some extent caused by the hypertonicity, relative to plasma, of the angiographic contrast medium. In the research laboratories of Nyegaard & Co. a group of non-ionic, water-soluble contrast media has been synthetized. These new compounds are, among others, characterized by their low osmolality when compared in iodine equivalent concentrations to the angiographic media of today. The present investigation was performed to find out whether the reduced osmolality of the non-ionic contrast media was accompanied by a reduced vasodilatory effect following injection into the femoral artery.","PeriodicalId":87169,"journal":{"name":"Acta radiologica.

Our radiological journal is now quite a ''grand old lady,'' founded back in 1921, a substantial number of years ago. It is not, however, the oldest, an accolade which probably belongs to Archives of Clinical Skiagraphy, later renamed the British Journal of Radiology, founded as early as April 1896, just a few months after Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen's discovery of the so- called X-ray. In this special issue of Acta Radiologica, written and edited by Professor Emeritus Anders Hem- mingsson, a former Editor in Chief of the journal, you will find an overview of the most important milestones of the first 85 years of Acta Radiologica. You will also find one prominent article from every decade since its foundation in 1921. Each of those articles represent milestones not only within Nordic radiology, but internationally as well, the first of which is Hugo Laurell's article from 1925, ''Freie Gas in der Bauhohle,'' followed by Peter Rusthoi's ''Uber Angiographie'' from 1933, Stig Radner's ''An Attempt at the Roentgenologic Visualization of Coronary Blood Vessels in Man'' from 1945, Sven Ivar Seldinger's world-famous article from 1953, ''Catheter Replacement of the Needle in Percuta- neous Arteriography,'' and, not least, Torsten Al- men's article from 1973, ''The Effect of Non-ionic","PeriodicalId":87169,"journal":{"name":"Acta radiologica.
