Bis heute ist Gallium-67 (67Ga) in der Nuklearmedizin die einzige routinemaBig verwendete Substanz fUr die Tumordi agnostik geblieben. Neben der Tumordiagnostik wird 67Ga heute jedoch weit haufiger zur Diagnostik entziindlicher Pro zesse eingesetzt. 1m intemationalen Vergleich ist auffallend, wie wenig die Galliumszintigraphie in Deutschland genutzt wird. Bei ca. 2000 Untersuchungen pro Jahr sind es nur ca. 0,1 % der nu klearmedizinischen Untersuchungen uberhaupt (zum Ver gleich: USA 7%). Aufgrund unserer Erfahrungen mit der Gal liumszintigraphie bei der Diagnostik entziindlicher Prozesse und...

This book contains papers presented at the Noblesse Workshop on Non-linear model based image analysis held in Glasgow, 1-3 July 1998. Current models have mainly been developed for image coding purposes. They are rather simple and far away from being optimal and do not contribute to more complex tasks like those needed in image databases. This book meets the challenging tasks in multimedia applications by discussing new sophisticated model-based schemes for a high-level description of images and image sequences. Novel results are covered in the papers presented in this book, opening new...

This book covers a wide range of technical issues relating to lightwave technologies using high coherence lightwaves. Electromagnetic wave communication started when the first wireless system was invented by Marconi in 1895. However, we had to wait about one hundred years to realize a similar technology in the lightwave frequency region. The invention of lasers in 1960 and two technology innovations in 1970 -low loss silica fiber and semiconductor lasers operating at room temperature - promoted the development of fiber-optic transmission systems. The deployment of high-speed long-haul...

From early on, anatomical imaging proceeded along three tracks that p- moted each other mutually. One track consisted of human beings interested in the organic structure of animals and humans. This track comprises Pal- and Neolithic hunters, shamans and clairvoyants of Sumeran and Babylonian times, dissecting artists of the Middle Ages, e. g., Leonardo da Vinci, and leads us to skilled and creative scienti? ? c anatomists of modern times. The second one consisted of technologies involved in the processing of images. Thus, a short walk through the history of anatomical imaging will bring us...
