About
Purpose
Dr. Pixel 2.0 is an academic platform focused on structured education and on the development of clinical decision-support tools in women’s health imaging. Its goal is to broaden access to specialized knowledge through organized content, evidence-based clinical apps, and digital resources integrated into patient care and medical education.
Online since December 2015, the platform has continuously evolved. We reached one million visits in June 2018 (news). In 2025, after a complete redesign of interface, organization, and features, it started being presented as Dr. Pixel 2.0, marking a new phase of expansion, innovation, and broader reach. We have maintained thousands of daily visits since then.

Content
All images and cases shown on the website come from the image databases of the “Hospital da Mulher Prof. Dr. José Aristodemo Pinotti — Centro de Atenção Integral à Saúde da Mulher (CAISM)” and the UNICAMP Clinical Hospital. We are supported by the Radiology and Obstetrics & Gynecology departments and by the Nuclear Medicine Service at the Faculty of Medical Sciences (FCM). The platform’s creation and maintenance are led by systems analyst Newton da Silva.
Academic initiative
Content curated by faculty at UNICAMP’s School of Medicine with a focus on diagnostic imaging, with substantial contribution and suggestions from UNICAMP medical students.
Logo
The Dr. Pixel logo — in both its 2015 original and the updated 2025 version — features a mustached doctor wearing glasses, created in tribute to Prof. Dr. Emílio Francisco Marussi, retired professor of the Obstetrics & Gynecology Department at UNICAMP. Over decades, he played a decisive role in training hundreds of professionals in ultrasound applied to women’s health. His pioneering work began in the 1970s, with the introduction of one of the first ultrasound machines available in Brazil, inspiring the platform’s visual identity to this day.
