The human brain has a truly remarkable capacity. It reorganizes itself, flexibly adjusting to fluctuating environmental conditions – a process called neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity provides the basis for wide-ranging learning and memory processes that are particularly profuse during childhood and adolescence. At the same time, the exceptional malleability of the developing brain leaves it highly vulnerable to negative impact from the surroundings. Abusive or neglecting social environments, as well as socioeconomic deprivation and poverty, cause toxic stress and complex traumas that can severely compromise cognitive development, emotional processing, self-perception, and executive brain f...
Annotation The two-volume set LNCS 5241 and LNCS 5242 constitute the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2008, held in New York, NY, USA, in September 2008.The program committee carefully selected 258 revised papers from numerous submissions for presentation in two volumes, based on rigorous peer reviews. The first volume includes 127 papers related to medical image computing, segmentation, shape and statistics analysis, modeling, motion tracking and compensation, as well as registration. The second volume contains 131 contributions related to robotics and interventions, statistical analysis, segmentation, intervention, modeling, and registration.
The 11th International Conference on Medical Imaging and Computer Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2008, was held at the Helen and Martin Kimmel Center of New York University, New York City, USA on September 6–10, 2008. MICCAI is the premier international conference in this domain, with - depth papers on the multidisciplinary ?elds of biomedical image computing and analysis, computer assisted intervention and medical robotics. The conference brings together biological scientists, clinicians, computer scientists, engineers, mathematicians, physicists and other interested researchers and o?ers them a forum to exchange ideas in these exciting and rapidly growing ?elds. The conference is both ver...
The Handbook of Medical Image Processing and Analysis is a comprehensive compilation of concepts and techniques used for processing and analyzing medical images after they have been generated or digitized. The Handbook is organized into six sections that relate to the main functions: enhancement, segmentation, quantification, registration, visualization, and compression, storage and communication.The second edition is extensively revised and updated throughout, reflecting new technology and research, and includes new chapters on: higher order statistics for tissue segmentation; tumor growth modeling in oncological image analysis; analysis of cell nuclear features in fluorescence microscopy i...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Machine Learning in Medical Imaging, MLMI 2011, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2011, in Toronto, Canada, in September 2011. The 44 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 74 submissions. The papers focus on major trends in machine learning in medical imaging aiming to identify new cutting-edge techniques and their use in medical imaging.
This book is based on the papers presented at the International Conference on Arti?cial Neural Networks, ICANN 2001, from August 21–25, 2001 at the - enna University of Technology, Austria. The conference is organized by the A- trian Research Institute for Arti?cal Intelligence in cooperation with the Pattern Recognition and Image Processing Group and the Center for Computational - telligence at the Vienna University of Technology. The ICANN conferences were initiated in 1991 and have become the major European meeting in the ?eld of neural networks. From about 300 submitted papers, the program committee selected 171 for publication. Each paper has been reviewed by three program committee m...
In dem Nachschlagewerk wird ein Überblick über den Stellenwert verschiedener bildgebender Verfahren zur Differentialdiagnostik bestimmter Krankheitsbilder gegeben. Schwerpunkt ist dabei die integrative Betrachtung verschiedener bildgebender Verfahren sowohl aus der Radiologie (konventionelle Röntgendiagnostik, Angiographie, CT, MRT, Sonographie) als auch aus der Nuklearmedizin (Szintigraphie, PET, SPECT). Diese werden nach dem aktuellen Stand der Wissenschaft in ihrer Aussagekraft bewertet. Das Buch richtet sich in erster Linie an niedergelassene Internisten, die ihre Patienten gezielt zur bildgebenden Diagnostik überweisen möchten. Radiologen und Nuklearmediziner werden über den aktuellen Stand differentialdiagnostischer Konzepte informiert. Auch Ärzten in der Weiterbildung bietet das Buch nützliche Hilfestellung. Die übersichtliche Gliederung nach Organsystemen mit entsprechenden Krankheitsbildern ermöglicht dem Leser eine rasche Orientierung.
