25 The History ofWomen inNeuroradiology inLatin America
Dr. Barbara Castellano Da Cunha is the youngest of them, and she never thought
that her path in the specialty would lead her to dedicate herself to neuroradiology.
However, a series of initially fortuitous and then desired events made her a selfmade specialist who supported her training through her own dedication, courses
abroad, and a multidisciplinary environment. She currently works in the IPS Central
in Asuncion, where her work in the Epilepsia Chirurgic Unit is well known, as is her
work in the private sector.
These three pioneers also dedicate their time to training young doctors.

History ofWomen Neuroradiologists inMexico
Most Inuential Female Mexican Neuroradiologist Doctors
Neuroradiology arrived in Mexico in 1959, and for almost 15years, it was represented by men until the arrival of Dr. Teresa Olvera in 1973. She was the rst woman
to earn a fellowship in neuroradiology. Subsequently, neuroradiology became
known among female doctors. Dr. Perla Salgado began her fellowship in 1986. She
was the rst woman to head the Neuroimaging Department at the National Institute
of Neurology and Neurosurgery in 2004. She is a professor who lectures at multiple
national and international conferences and is part of the Electronic Work Evaluation
Committee at SILAN, and participates with the National Autonomous University of
Mexico to evaluate radiology and imaging headquarters nationwide.
Dr. Patricia Silva worked at the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery
and was president of the Mexican Society of Radiology and Imaging.
Another internationally recognized Mexican neuroradiologist is Dr. Katiuzka
Casares (Fig.25.11), who is an associate professor of neuroradiology at the National
Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery. She was the rst woman to be president
of the Mexican Society of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Neuroradiology from 2013
to 2015. Currently, she is a professor at the Inter-American College of Radiology, a
national and international lecturer, and participates with the Mexican Council of
Radiology in evaluating radiologist doctors. Among the ranks of Mexican neuroradiologists who have been pioneers in different areas, we can name doctors Guadalupe
Ramirez and Ángeles Gómez, who were the rst to have training in endovascular
therapy. Dr. Thalía Moreno was the rst Mexican female neuroradiologist to gain a
functional resonance fellowship, training in France in 2004. Dr. Dulce Bonifacio
began a highly specialized course in Endovascular Therapy in Mexico City, and Dr.
Mariana Garza created a branch in Nuevo León to study neuroradiology with the
same academic program as that at the INNN.Currently, in Mexico, we have 40
female neuroradiologists distributed throughout the country, which corresponds to
30% of the total number of neuroradiologists in Mexico. At the National Institute of
Neurology and Neurosurgery, 40% of the professors and Fellows in Neuroradiology

are women, training both national and foreign doctors, which makes the institute a
fundamental axis in the education of neuroradiology in Latin America.
History ofWomen Neuroradiologists inHonduras
Most Inuential Female Honduran Neuroradiologist Doctors
In the twentieth century, radiology in Honduras was exclusively for men. In the
1980s, Dr. Martha Cambar performed x-ray interpretation tasks despite not having
had formal training. At the end of the 80s, Dr. Virginia Figueroa entered the country
with formal radiology training and worked in her private practice in Tegucigalpa. Dr
Jeaneth Bu Figueroa becomes the rst neuroradiologist in Honduras and Central
America. She attended the Faculty of Medicine of the National Autonomous
University of Honduras, UNAH.Later in 1989 She studied general radiology at the
Mexican Institute of Social Security IMSS and then studied neuroradiology at the
National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery Dr. Manuel Velazco Suarez, in
Mexico City, under the tutelage of Dr. Marco Zenteno. She currently practices at the
IHSS and is the teaching coordinator and neuroradiology chair in the postgraduate
courses in Radiology, Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Physical Medicine and
Rehabilitation.

History ofWomen Neuroradiologists inChile
Most Inuential Female Chilean Neuroradiologist Doctors
The advancement of women in neuroradiology in Chile has been remarkable. In a
historically male-dominated eld, the emergence of Dr. Nelly Rosario Guerrero
A. and Dr. Ana Pino V. as the country’s rst female radiologists in 1959 marked a
signicant milestone. During the 1980s, the landscape shifted further with the emergence of the rst female neuroradiologists. Dr. Marcia Salinas, trained in Marseille,
along with Dr. Evelyn Faure and Drs. Stef Eckhardt, who brought with them neu-
rology background, led this transformative period. Following this wave, a cadre of
talented women, including Drs. Patricia Orellana, Rosario Rosales, Romina
Zunino, and Maria Francesca Castoldi, continued to propel the growth and diversi-
cation of neuroradiology in Chile. Their collective contributions solidied the
presence and impact of women in this specialized eld, shaping its trajectory and
inspiring future generations.
Neuroradiology continues to advance with the support of a new generation of
young professionals, including Valeria Schonstedt and Ximena Stecher, both of
whom are specialists in pediatric neuroradiology and epilepsy. They work at Clínica
Alemana in Santiago, and their involvement in teaching and strengthening relationships with their Latin American peers enhances development and collaboration in
this eld.
Latin American women are playing an important role in neuroradiology. May the
histories of these Latin American neuroradiologists inspire new generations of
young women to choose neuroradiology as a profession and provide excellent
patient care, based on humanization and diagnostic accuracy. Furthermore, may the
contributions of current women in the eld of teaching and science be continued by
the upcoming generation.

History ofWomen Neuroradiologists
intheDominican Republic
Most Inuential Female Dominican Neuroradiologist Doctors
The Dominican Republic is proud to have Dr. Juan Manuel Taveras Rodríguez, who
was a professor, editor, and Dominican Doctor, born in Moca in 1919, he is considered the Father of modern Neuroradiology, and wrote the rst text on the subject
and founded both the American Society of Neuroradiology and its scientic journal,
of which he was its editor for several years.
The Dominican Republic has few neuroradiologists, predominantly male, the
pioneers being Dr. Juan Manuel Taveras, Dr. Miguel Paliza, Dr. Antonio Honrado
Castro, Dr. Rafael Fermin, among others. Currently, we have women neuroradiologists, Dr. Luisa Melo de Jung as our rst neuroradiologist of the country, originally
from San Pedro de Macoris, she trained at the Manuel Velasco Suarez Institute of
Neurology and Neurosurgery, Mexico, in the period 2014–2016. The second in the
country and the rst in the Northern region, Dr. Marian E.Honrado de Lee, origi-
nally from San Francisco de Macorís, trained at the Manuel Velasco Suarez Institute
of Neurology and Neurosurgery, Mexico, in the period 2016–2018. Lastly, the third
Dr. Perla M.Almonte Pichardo, originally from Santiago de los Caballeros, trained
at the National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition Salvador Zubiran,
Mexico, 2017–2018.
History ofWomen Neuroradiologists inUruguay
Most Inuential Female Uruguayan Neuroradiologist Doctors
Neuroradiology in Uruguay does not have a fellowship, so if you want to specialize,
you have to go to study outside. The rst woman in neuroradiology was Angelica
Wozniak, who went to study in the USA in the 80’s. The rst Neurointerventional
woman was Teresa Lin (neurologist), who studied with Fernanda Viñuela in Canada
and UCLA in the 80’s.
A new generation of neuroradiologist women started with Cecilia Purcallas,
who went to study with Dr. Lucato at San Pablo in 2005, Florencia Birriel, who
studied with Dr. Ramon Figueroa in Augusta medical school in Georgia in 2012,
and then Magdalena Pucurull in 2017, who also trained with Dr. Figueroa.
In Neurointerventional Radiology, Dr. Ofelia Marabotto went to France to train,
and Mariana Romero and Alejandra Jaume (both originally neurosurgeons) went on
to practice with Pedro Lylyk in Argentina.

Conclusion
In summary, as we can see, women neuroradiologists in Latin America have a rich
history marked by dedication and innovation. They continue to evolve, doing hard
work and playing an essential role in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of
neurological disorders, thus improving the lives of patients. They are increasingly
having an active voice and thus achieving excellent work in medical education,
medical policy, leadership, and science, and serving as an inspiration for future
generations.
