Edited by Jasjit S. Suri David L. Wilson Swamy Laxminarayan 2005 Our goal is to develop automated methods for the segmentation of threedimensional biomedical images. Here, we describe the segmentation of confocal microscopy images of bee brains (20 individuals) by registration to one or several atlas images. Registration is performed by a highly parallel implementation of an entropy-based nonrigid […]

Edited by Jasjit S. Suri David L. Wilson Swamy Laxminarayan 2005 In Chapter 1 we present in detail a framework for fully automated brain tissue classification. The framework consists of a sequence of fully automated state of the art image registration (both rigid and nonrigid) and image segmentation algorithms. Models of the spatial distribution of brain tissues are […]

Edited by Jasjit S. Suri David L. Wilson Swamy Laxminarayan 2005 Chapter 1 presents IVUS. Intravascular ultrasound images represent a unique tool to guide interventional coronary procedures; this technique allows to supervise the cross-sectional locations of the vessel morphology and to provide quantitative and qualitative information about the causes and severity of coronary diseases. At the moment, the automatic […]

Nico Westerhof Nikos Stergiopulos Mark I.M. Noble 2005 An aid for clinical research and graduate education This book is written to help clinical and basic researchers, as well as graduate students, in the understanding of hemodynamics. Recent developments in genetics and molecular biology on the one hand, and new non-invasive measurement techniques on the other hand, make it possible […]

Antonio Cardesa · Pieter J. Slootweg (Eds.) 2006 This book was initially conceived as a unitary group of chapters on “Pathology of the Head and Neck”, to be published in German within the series of volumes of Remmele’s Textbook of Pathology. From the outset, the editorial approach was to concentrate on pathological entities that are either unique to or quite […]

Derek C. Allen 2006 Guidelines for Surgical Cancer Many of the introductory comments in the first edition of this book regarding the increasingly focused approach required of pathologists to surgical cancer histopathology reports still pertain. In the intervening period a number of trends have continued to develop that have required an update.
