This book summarizes the proceedings of the 10th international conference on Infonnation Pro cessing in Medical Imaging (IPMI-lO), held in June, 1987, in Zeist, The Netherlands. IPMI is a biennial conference, organized alternately in Europe and North America. The subject of the conference is the use of physics, mathematics, computer science, and engineering in the of medical images. The intent of the conference is to fonnation, processing and interpretation provide a forum where new ideas and results of research in medical imaging can be presented and amply discussed. Accordingly, the programme can comprise only a limited number of papers. The scientific committee of IPMI-lO selected 41 pape...
Knowledge acquisition has become a major area of artificial intelligence and cognitive science research. The papers in this book show that the area of knowledge acquisition for knowledge-based systems is still a diverse field in which a large number of research topics are being addressed. However, several main themes run through the papers. First, the issues of integrating knowledge from different sources and K.A. tools is a salient topic in many papers. A second major topic in the papers is that of knowledge modelling. Research in knowledge-based systems emphasises the use of generic models of reasoning and its underlying knowledge. An important trend in the area of knowledge modelling aims...
Recent results and ongoing research in Artificial Intelligence are described in this book, with emphasis on fundamental questions in several key areas: machine learning, neural networks, automated reasoning, natural language processing, and logic methods in AI. There are also more applied papers in the fields of vision, architectures for KBS, expert systems and intelligent tutoring systems. One of the changes since AIMSA'90 has been the increased numbers of papers submitted in the fields of machine learning, neural networks and hybrid systems.One of the special features of the AIMSA series of conferences is their coverage of work across both Eastern and Western Europe and the former Soviet Union as well as papers from North America. AIMSA'92 is no exception and this volume provides a unique multi-cultural view of AI.
The accuracy and clinical relevance of any particular image relies as much--if not more so--on the way technical data is analyzed and interpreted as on the technology itself. These proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Information Processing in Medical Imaging address a number of subjects currently of interest in the field, with specific emphasis on the mathematical and statistical analysis of information obtained with today's state-of-the-art medical imaging equipment. Individual chapters discuss a variety of issues in these areas: image reconstruction, image analysis, MRI and applications, image analysis and segmentation, and medical applications.
In this book contemporary knowledge of superconductivity is set against its historical background. First, the highlights of superconductivity research in the twentieth century are reviewed. Further contributions then describe the basic phenomena resulting from the macroscopic quantum state of superconductivity (such as zero resistivity, the Meissner-Ochsenfeld effect, and flux quantization) and review possible mechaniscs, including the classical BCS theory and the more recent alternative theories. The main categories of superconductors - elements, intermetallic phases, chalcogenides, oxides and organic compounds - are described. Common features and differences in their structure and electronic properties are pointed out. This broad overview of superconductivity is completed by a discussion of properties related to the coherence length. Newcomers to the field who seek an overall picture of research in superconductivity, and of the cross-links between its branches, will find this volume especially useful.
Radioactive Isotopes in Clinical Medicine and Research XXIII presents an update in the latest clinical research in nuclear medicine. It provides in-depth information on all areas of nuclear medicine. The chapters of this volume have been grouped into the following sections: Neurology / Psychiatry, Therapy, Radiopharmacology, Endocrinology / Thyroid, Oncology / Haematology, Clinical PET, Cardiology, Varia, Physics / Radiation Protection, World Wide Web / WWW demo. Special attention is paid to the virtual media for teaching, training, communication, quality control etc. Primarily intended for specialists in the nuclear medicine, this volume will also be of considerable interest to clinicians using diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine procedures, including cardiologists, haematologists, neurologists, nephrologists, oncologists, pharmacologists, and psychiatrists.
