Die Angst vor Brustkrebs ist berechtigt, da es sich um die haufigste Krebserkrankung der Frau handelt. Manchmal wird diese Angst gezielt geschurt, das Risiko bewusst ubertrieben. Wer aber sollte Interesse haben, diese Furcht auszunutzen? Welche Folgen hat das fur Frau und Gesellschaft? Dieses Buch beschreibt nicht nur einen Koerperteil, der als Krankheitsort fur Betroffene, Angehoerige, AErzte und Pharmaindustrie unterschiedliche Bedeutung gewinnen kann. Es skizziert die Brust auch als Symbol, d...

Solid-State Imaging with Charge-Coupled Devices covers the complete imaging chain: from the CCD's fundamentals to the applications. The book is divided into four main parts: the first deals with the basics of the charge-coupled devices in general. The second explains the imaging concepts in close relation to the classical television application. Part three goes into detail on new developments in the solid-state imaging world (light sensitivity, noise, device architectures), and part four...

Human health as well as aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems are threatened from increa­ sing levels of environmental radiation of various sources, many of them of anthropoge­ nic causality: large areas of the former Soviet Union suffer from radioactive pollution, in particular after the Chemobyl accident; the increase in the incidence of UVB radiati­ on at the Earth's surface as a result of a progressive depletion of stratospheric ozone is a global problem that requires international concerted ac...

The use of ultrasonic imaging techniques for diagnostic purposes in veteri­ nary medicine and animal science has lagged far behind their use in human medicine. In the area of domestic animal reproduction, diagnostic ultrasono­ graphy has a relatively short history. Reports on B-mode scanning first appeared as late as 1969, when Stouffer and co-workers used it for counting foetal numbers in late gestation sheep. After Lindahl had re-evaluated the potential of two-dimensional ultrasonography for p...

This LNCS conference volume constitutes the proceedings of the MICCAI Workshop GRAIL 2023 and MICCAI Challenge OCELOT 2023, Held in Conjunction with MICCAI 2023, Vancouver, BC, Canada, September 23, and October 4, 2023. The 9 full papers (GRAIL 2023) and 6 full papers (OCELOT  2023) included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from GRAIL 14 (GRAIL 2023) and 6 (OCELOT 2023) submissions. The conference GRAIL 2023 a wide set of methods and application and OCELOT 2023 focuses on th...

PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems) consist of image acquisition devices, storage archiving units, display stations, computer processors, and database management systems integrated within a communications network for the purpose of acquiring, storing, viewing, manipulating, and communicating diagnostic images and related information. This book aims to provide an introductory primer on PACS technology and applications. Topics include: industrial standards; image archiving; database...
