Image analysis in medical imaging: recent advances in selected examples

Medical imaging has developed into one of the most important fields within scientific imaging due to the rapid and continuing progress in computerised medical image visualisation and advances in analysis methods and computer-aided diagnosis. Several research applications are selected to illustrate the advances in image analysis algorithms and visualisation. Recent results, including previously ...

Applications of gold nanoparticles for medical imaging

Background & Aim: Molecular imaging enables us to non-invasively visualize tissue microstructures and lesion characterization, allowing accurate diagnosis of diseases at early stages. A successful molecular imaging requires a nontoxic contrast agent with high sensitivity. Nowadays, a wide range of nanoparticles have been developed as contrast agents for medical imaging modalities. Here, we revi...

Some Recent Aspects of Electrocardiography.

IT would be ungracious for us as guests of this University not to remind ourselves that, without three great Italians, we might not have electrocardiography as we know it, perhaps no electrocardiography at all: Galvani, Volta and Matteucci (Fig. i). It was Matteucci, Professor of Physics in Pisa, who in I843 first reported electrical currents in strips of pigeons' heart muscle, a discovery from...

Aspects of Medical History

IT is my privilege today to be the one chosen to welcome you to another year of work at the hospital. Believe me, I do so with real pleasure and with the sincere wish that, within these walls, you students may acquire that understanding of human nature and knowledge of disease which must be the rewards of love of medicine and diligent study. Some of you will be returning to familiar surrounding...
