Magnetic Resonance Angiography
In this completely revised second edition, internationally acknowledged experts discuss the principles and technical aspects of MR angiography, its diverse clinical applications, and its advantages and limitations. A large number of typical MR angiograms are presented, suitable protocols are described, and comparison is made with other vascular imaging techniques. Chapters focus on image display techniques, blood flow quantification, hardware configurations, and the limitations and artifacts of MR angiography. Suitable examination protocols for different vascular regions and lesions are described to facilitate correct application of the technique. Systematic comparison is made with other vascular imaging techniques.
Beyond Tomorrow
Shows German Science Fiction's connections with utopian thought, and how it attempts Zukunftsbewältigung: coping with an uncertain but also unwritten future.
Science Fiction Literature in East Germany
East German science fiction enabled its authors to create a subversive space in another time and place. One of the country's most popular genres, it outlined futures that often went beyond the party's official version. Many utopian stories provided a corrective vision, intended to preserve and improve upon East German communism. This study is an introduction to East German science fiction. The book begins with a chapter on German science fiction before 1949. It then spans the entire existence of the country (1949-1990) and outlines key topics essential to understanding the genre: popular literature, socialist realism, censorship, fandom, and international science fiction. An in-depth discuss...
Anatomy of Science Fiction
"This wide-ranging collection of essays re-opens the connection between science fiction and the increasingly science-fictional world. Kevin Alexander Boon reminds us of the degree to which the epistemology of science fiction infects modern political discourse. Károly Pintér explores the narrative structures of utopian estrangement, and Tamás Bényei and Brian Attebery take us deeper into the cultural exchanges between science fiction and the literary and political worlds. In the second half, Donald Morse, Nicholas Ruddick and Éva Federmayer look at the way in which science fiction has tackled major ethical issues, while Amy Novak and Kálmán Matolcsy consider memory and evolution as cul...
Neuroimaging Biomarkers and Cognition in Alzheimer’s disease Spectrum
Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) with self-reported concerns and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are well-established to be at increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) dementia and a clinical continuum of dementia progression as a spectrum of AD. AD may develop from SCD to MCI (early MCI and late MCI) and eventually to AD. Nevertheless, until recently little was known about their pathophysiology associated with cognitive-behavioral syndrome. Although for researchers, scientists and clinicians, the pathophysiology of AD spectrum is an intriguing issue, delineating it in a clear way is far from easy. Taken together, in-depth understanding of neuroimaging-based pathology behind...
Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention - MICCAI 2011
The three-volume set LNCS 6891, 6892 and 6893 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2011, held in Toronto, Canada, in September 2011. Based on rigorous peer reviews, the program committee carefully selected 251 revised papers from 819 submissions for presentation in three volumes. The first volume includes 86 papers organized in topical sections on robotics, localization and tracking and visualization, planning and image guidance, physical modeling and simulation, motion modeling and compensation, and segmentation and tracking in biological images.
The Black Mirror and Other Stories
Handsomely equipped with a comprehensive introductory historical essay, editor's notes and selected bibliography, this distinguished anthology is a model of genre research. These previously untranslated stories, published from 1871 onward, offer reading virtually unknown to most American (and many German) readers. Some authors combine scientific and philosophical issues, like Kurd Lasswitz in his witty tale "To the Absolute Zero of Existence: A Story from 2371, " while others, as in Erik Simon's 1983 title story, pose psychological puzzles involving alien phenomena. Though the earlier stories in particular demand painstaking reading, all of them repay it with rewarding insights into German and Austrian culture and the many possible uses and misuses of science.
New challenges and future perspectives in brain imaging methods, 2nd edition
Brain imaging has seen considerable advances over the recent years. Both developments and validation of advanced image acquisition techniques as well as post-processing and analyses pipelines contribute to contemporary imaging, including parallel imaging, (semi-)automated segmentation, generation of synthetic images, and application of machine learning and radiomics. Multi-modal approaches using structural, metabolic, and functional imaging are emerging to build a framework for a better understanding of anatomical features and physiological processes of the brain. This Research Topic intends to cover a broad theme, welcoming contributions spanning across the fields of (neuro)radiology, medic...
