The last one was a case of intracapsular rupture, the capsule forming a big cyst and filling up most of the abdomen. The photographs illustrate the enormous size of the spleens as compared with the anatomical specimen in the middle; the spleens had got considerably hardened and shrunken in the pathological museum. The small spleen is a papier maclie model of a normal organ from the anatomy muse...

The anatomy of the papillary muscle of the conus, also known as Lancisi's muscle, was studied in 100 normal hearts from pathological collections and in 8 embryonic and fetal hearts. Wide morphological variations were observed and because of this the name medial papillary complex is proposed. It is concluded that the value of this complex as an anatomical landmark in the right ventricle is a ver...

We present a completely automatic method to identify abnormal anatomical configurations of the brain resulting from various pathologies. The statistical framework developed here is applied to identify regions that significant differ from normal anatomy in two groups of patients, namely subjects who subsequently converted to Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and subjects with mild AD. The regions identif...

A prospective NIH funded study examines the effects of early brain damage on selective aspects of cognitive development in children. We describe an efficient method to segment and visualize the intracerebral fluid spaces in children and adults based on MRI and to quantify ventricular volumes which is (a) robust (for normal and pathological anatomy), (b) reproducible (less than 2 % relative vari...

A 66 year old, right handed woman presented with pure alexia and right hemiachromatopsia (PARH) in the context of a posterior dementia. PARH was accompanied by prosopagnosia, 2-D object agnosia, and environmental agnosia. Visual fields were normal to confrontation testing. The pathological anatomy of PARH involves circumscribed damage to the lingual and fusiform gyri and paraventricular white m...
