GO RAD |
 ¿What is GO RAD?
GO RAD is a new global outreach program developed by the International Society of Radiology. The purpose is to reach out to and advance radiology education throughout a global radiology community by aggregating current, practical, radiology literature with content targeted and dedicated to developing nations and underserved populations.
As the world of scholarship and education shrinks by virtue of the electronic tools available, it is appropriate for the international leadership in radiology to look to current and future global needs.
 Most major radiology journals publish online and offer educational content of tremendous value to radiologists and other related healthcare providers, but open and easy access to just published content is only available to subscribers.
Through agreements with these cooperating major radiology journals, the GO RAD platform provides immediate open access to a limited amount of otherwise restricted access content, providing an electronic link back to the original on-line article, at the time of first publication.
We hope that you take full advantage of this program to improve the health and well being of all.

 Santiago Ramón y Cajal was a Spanish histologist. He was born in Petilla de Aragón in 1852 and died in Madrid in 1934.
Since a very early age he was inclined to sketching and painting; these two hobbies would be very useful for his later work. Because he wasn’t very keen on studying, his father made him work as an apprenticed to a barber and to a cobbler.
In 1873 he took his Licentiate in Medicine, he entered the Military Health Corp as an army doctor and, in 1874, he travelled to Cuba. After finishing a doctorate at Madrid (1877) he was appointed Director of the Anatomic Museum in the University of Zaragoza. In 1883 he was appointed the chair of Anatomy in the University of Valencia. From 1887 to 1892 he was appointed Professor of Histology at Barcelona and later that same year he was appointed to the same chair at Madrid.
As opposed to the prevailing theories of reticularism, he established that neurons are independent cells which communicate with each other by contact. His discoveries, which were possible thanks to staining techniques also discovered by him, confirm this theory known as the neuron doctrine.
The German Anatomic Society in Berlin (1889) made his work famous worldwide. Summoned by the London Society he gave the Croonian Lecture in 1894 and he was appointed honorary doctor by the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. He visited the United States as a guest of the Clark University to give a series of lectures.
He won several prizes, as the Moscow Prize, given by the International Congress of Medicine in 1900, the gold medal of Helhoba, awarded by the Royal Academy of Sciences of Berlin (1904) and the Nobel Prize of Medicine which he shared with Golgi, in 1906.
A tireless worker, he published more than two hundred articles in local and international journals. Among his work, we can find Manual de Histología normal y Técnica micrográfica (Manual of normal Histology and micrographic technique) (1889), Manual de Anatomía Patológica general (Manual of General Pathologic Anatomy) (1890-1892), Textura del sistema nervioso del hombre y de los vertebrados (Textbook on the nervous system of man and the vertebrates) (1904).
He is considered the creator of the Spanish School of Histology, which received well known students such as Tello, Del Río-Ortega or Lorente de No. Not only was he a man of science, but he was also a man of exquisite words, and an observer of life, as shown in his work Recuerdos de mi vida (Recollections of my life) (1917) and Charlas de café (Coffee Chatters) (1921).
Don Santiago is one of the most important medical figures, who represents modern times, as well as a role model for most researchers. Aragón, where he was born, considers him one of its most distinguished figures.
