In June 1989, a third conference concentrating on the progress in quantita- tive coronary angiography and related techniques was held in Rotterdam, again very successful as the two preceding events in 1985 and 1987.
It was at Frankfurt/Mainin 1899 that Paul Ehrlich first expounded his famous "e;site-chain theory"e; -which described the basic immunological principal of antibody-antigen interactio- on the occasion of the opening of the Institute for Experimental Therapeutics (which was later named after him).
Magnetic resonance is a safe, non-invasive technique which can be used to produce high resolution, thin tomographic slices in any chosen plane, or true three-dimensional blocks of information.
Since the introduction of myocardial perfusion imaging and radionuclide angiography in the mid-seventies, cardiovascular nuclear medicine has undergone an explosive growth.
The most salient feature of the infor- last four chapters of the book evaluate the mation provided by nuclear medicine is its information from an analytical and pathophysiological and functional charac- statistical point of view.
In this fourth book in the series on quantitative coronary arteriography (QCA) with the earlier three volumes published in 1986, 1988 and 1991, the latest developments in this exciting field are covered.
Because of the topographic and pathophysiologic information obtained with contemporary neuroimaging techniques, CT and MR scanning now constitute the most important investigation in clinical neurology.
This volume represents the primary lectures of the NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on "e;Nuclear Magnetic Resonance in Modern Technology,"e; which was held at Sarigerme Park (near the Dalaman Airport) on the southern Aegean shore of Turkey from August 23 to September 4, 1992.
In recent years there have been tremendous advances in cardiac imaging techniques covering the complete spectrum from echocardiography, nuclear cardiology, magnetic resonance imaging to contrast angiography.
In the past nuclear medicine has tended to develop in cycles governed by the development of new radiopharmaceuticals followed or preceded by advances in instrumentation.
Terahertz technology has moved on from being a useful but expensive circuit technique, applied largely in astronomy and space science, to become a subject in its own right, with important applications - terahertz imaging in particular.
Exploration of Cortical Function summarizes recent research efforts aiming at the revelation of cortical population coding and signal processing strategies.
Recent advances in wave propagation in random media are certainly consequences of new approaches to fundamental issues, as well as of a strong interest in potential applications.
The imaging aspects of radiography have undergone con- many sources and was in general freely given when requested siderable change in the last few years and as a teacher of and this is gratefully acknowledged.
When compiling the present atlas our aim has been to provide the practis- ing radiotherapist with a handbook which would help him to plan the radiation therapy of tumours of individual organs.
Over the last few decades, angiography has devel- careful analysis of his angiographic findings and a oped enormously and an extensive literature has very thorough description of vascular anatomy been published on the subject.
This atlas is a selection of roentgenograms of patients who visited the radiology departments at the University Hospital in Leiden between 1970 and 1978, the Free University Hospital in Amsterdam in 1979, and the radiology department at the Indiana University Medical School in Indianapolis in 1977.
Complex disorders of the carbohydrate metabolism and associated complications cause many abnormalities detectable by radiography in the bones and joints.
In 1977 a Philips Tomoscan 200, second generation, whole body CT scanner was installed at the Department of Radiodiagnosis of the University Hospital of Utrecht (The Netherlands) and its new possibilities concerning the measurements of bone mineral content (BMC) had been considered.
