Dear guest, this is the English language homepage of the Anatomical Pathology / Neuropathology / Neuroimaging website of the Departments of Pathology and Radiology at the State University of Campinas, School of Medicine (FCM-UNICAMP), Campinas, Brazil.
The final pages in Portuguese cover museum specimens, microscopical slides (General and Special Pathology) and case studies in Neuropathology and Neuroimaging. You may reach them via thumbnail pages and alphabetical indexes in English listed above.
If you get stuck in the Portuguese pages, look for Outros Módulos (other subjects) or Neuropatologia - Graduação at each page bottom — these links will bring you back to the English homepage. Please feel free to browse.
This teaching website on Pathology, Neuropathology and Neuroimaging of FCM-UNICAMP first appeared in April 2000 as supporting pages for our Medical School students, based on the museum assembled by Professor José Lopes de Faria, founder of the Pathology Dept.
In 2003, the site incorporated a sizable number of Neuroimaging pictures, as the Neuropathology and Neuroradiology courses were merged. That was possible through the invaluable help of Professor Verônica de Araújo Zanardi, who opened her personal files and applied lifelong experience to the case presentations. Since then, many neurosurgical cases discussed in monthly meetings have been added and the collection continues to grow. Special thanks are also due to Professor José Ribeiro de Menezes Netto, an unfailing believer in the complementary natures of Radiology and Pathology and active contributor to this site.
We now feel there may be enough useful images to bring the site to a more international readership. The indexing pages in English above give access to all material through linked thumbnails. The final pages are in Portuguese, but we strongly advise you to try Google's translator at translate.google.com — write anatpat.unicamp.br in the left-hand box, set the source language to Portuguese, and click the link that appears on the right. All pages within the site will then be translated automatically into your chosen language as you follow the links.
