Mark W. Green Leah M. Green John F. Rothrock 2005 The authors have spent more than two decades practicing as neurologists with a subspecialty in headache (Drs. Mark Green and John Rothrock) or working as a clinical psychiatrist (Dr. Leah Green). During that time, many important discoveries have improved the diagnosis and management of headache syndromes, but this new information obviously […]

Edited by Stephan R. Targan Fergus Shanahan Loren C. Karp 2005 The pace of research in inflammatory bowel diseases has accelerated over the last decade, with a particularly rapid sprint occurring as we approached the new millennium. Advances in basic and technologic research have enabled scientists to examine the inflammatory process at the cellular and molecular levels.

Edited by Herman Friedman, Thomas W. Klein Mauro Bendinelli 2005 The mechanisms of disease production by infectious agents are presently the focus of an unprecedented flowering of studies. The field has undoubtedly received impetus from the considerable advances recently made in the understanding of the structure, biochemistry, and biology of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other parasites.

H.K.F. van Saene (Editor) L. Silvestri (Editor) M.A.De La Cal (Editor) 2005 Seven years have passed since the first edition of ‘Infection Control in the Intensive Care Unit’ was published. That book was a compilation of the lectures read at an intensive course on management of infection in the critically ill organised by Professor A.Gullo in Trieste, Italy, […]

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 […]

Daniel Lichtenstein 2005 Ultrasound has, it is true, gained a more important place in emergency and intensive care medicine. Technological evolution alone does not explain this popularity. Technology develops extremely quickly, but we have always suggested - and continue to do so – that before rushing to the most modern ultrasound units, we should already make optimal use of […]

R. Lencioni D. Cioni · C. Bartolozzi (Eds.) 2005 Detection, Characterization, Ablation Few fields of medicine have witnessed such impressive progress as the diagnosis and treatment of liver tumors. Advances in imaging technology, the development of novel contrast agents, and the introduction of optimized scanning protocols have greatly facilitated the non-invasive detection and characterization of focal liver lesions. Furthermore, image-guided […]
