Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention - MICCAI'99
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI'99, held in Cambridge, UK, in September 1999. The 133 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 213 full-length papers submitted. The book is divided into topical sections on data-driven segmentation, segmentation using structural models, image processing and feature detection, surfaces and shape, measurement and interpretation, spatiotemporal and diffusion tensor analysis, registration and fusion, visualization, image-guided intervention, robotic systems, and biomechanics and simulation.
An Atlas of Neonatal Brain Sonography
This is a comprehensive "atlas" of the brain of the newborn infant as depicted by high-frequency ultrasound. For ease of use, the volume is arranged into distinct parts. Coverage begins with "echo-anatomy", then proceeds through congenital anomalies, in utero acquired brain damage, and perinatal injury. Where relevant, corresponding CT or MRI pictures are provided. Additional topics covered include Doppler imaging and the measurement of echodensity. Throughout the work, the authors maintain a focus on relevance for the practicing physician. Thoroughly illustrated with over 600 halftones and color plates, this is an impressively up-to-date and comprehensive book.
AMC art book
An art collector who was a patient at the Amsterdam Medical Center once expressed his gratitude with a donation of several works of art, the seed for the extraordinary modern art collection that now flourishes at the Amsterdam Medical Center. Since it began seriously cultivating its art collection in the 1980s, the Center has amassed approximately 5,000 works by Dutch and Dutch-resident artists. The Amsterdam Medical Center Art Book is an extraordinary showcase of the Center’s rich and diverse collection, which focuses on Dutch art from the 1950s through the 1970s. The book highlights several stunning examples within the collection of such benchmark art movements as CoBrA, Mixed Media Art, Zero Art, and New Figuration. Other fascinating pieces featured in the book were created by artists-in-residence, who were allowed to draw from live scenes in the Center’s operating theater and maternity ward. This volume ultimately presents a fascinating survey of Dutch post-war art, with over 100 vibrant color illustrations that include works by Eugene Brands, Karel Appel, Constant, Marc Mulders, Roy Villevoye, and Marlene Dumas.
Casting Might-Have-Beens
Some acting careers are made by one great role and some fall into obscurity when one is declined. Would Al Pacino be the star he is today if Robert Redford had accepted the role of Michael Corleone in The Godfather? Imagine Tom Hanks rejecting Uma Thurman, saying that she acted like someone in a high school play when she auditioned to play opposite him in The Bonfire of the Vanities. Picture Danny Thomas as The Godfather, or Marilyn Monroe as Cleopatra. This reference work lists hundreds of such stories: actors who didn't get cast or who turned down certain parts. Each entry, organized alphabetically by film title, gives the character and actor cast, a list of other actors considered for that role, and the details of the casting decision. Information is drawn from extensive research and interviews. From About Last Night (which John Belushi turned down at his brother's urging) to Zulu (in which Michael Caine was not cast because he didn't look "Cockney" enough), this book lets you imagine how different your favorite films could have been.
Unfinished Father
"Erik Kessels' father suffered a stroke and can barely speak or move since. Prior to this, he was extremely active. His projects included restoring examples of that Italian icon: the Fiat 500 (or "Topolino".). ... This car came to represent his unfinished father -- this is why it forms the basis of this project, which is an exhibition as well as a book, published by RVB Books. Erik transported his dad's last Topolino to Italy and presents it alongside intimately detailed images his father made to document its restoration. This work is about a man who -- like his vehicle -- will never be complete, but remain forever interrupted."
