The past decade has witnessed major scientific and technological advancements, and one among them was molecular imaging. Today, molecular imaging constitutes a major trend in biomedical research and seems to have the potential to revolutionise life sciences. Molecular imaging plays a valuable role in the assessment of cellular targets and the response to therapy, differential diagnosis, predict...

The problems of classifying acute respiratory illnesses A well-defined clinical classification was essential for this survey if order was to be imposed on the numerous undifferentiated respiratory illnesses encountered in general practice to which a variety of labels are attached. The classification had to be designed so that it would demonstrate the activities of the various respiratory parasi...

This paper reviews the potential role of feedback in visual masking, for and against. Our analysis reveals constraints for feedback mecha- nisms that limit their potential role in visual masking, and in all other general brain functions. We propose a feedforward model of visual masking, and provide a hypothesis to explain the role of feedback in visual masking and visual processing in general. ...

For centuries the autopsy has been a key technology in Western culture for generating clinical/medical as well cultural knowledge about bodies. This article hails anato-medical generative trope and apparatus reconfiguring humanist of bodies takes up possibilities working with concept disrupting qualitative research methodology. In doing so, outlines returns (to) series research-creation experim...

MR-Interferographie 1] ist eine Methode in der Me-dizinischen Bildgebung, die das nichtinvasive Messen von Herzwandbewegung erm olicht 2]. Hierzu wird ein interferographisches Muster auf Kurzachsenschnitte des linken Ventrikels projiziert, welches die lokale Be-wegung des Myokards charakterisiert. Die Bestimmung phasensensitiver Parameter in der Signalverarbeitung mit Interferographie ist eine ...

Positron emission tomography (PET) has become one of the major tools for the in vivo localisation of positron-emitting tracers and now is performed routinely using (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) to answer important clinical questions including those in cardiology, neurology, psychiatry, and oncology. The latter application contributed largely to the wide acceptance of this imaging modality and ...

Anato~llical and physiological data from lower primates, and psychophysical data from hun~ans, is used to construct a quantitative model of the local and global map structure (functional architecture) of human striate cortex. A series of successful estimates deriving from this model are reviewed. including a prediction for the width of human ocular dominance columns, which has recently been ver...
