An atlas of the Galactic plane along with the molecular clouds in Orion, o Oph, ([4¡.7 \ b \ 4¡.7), and Taurus-Auriga, has been produced at 60 and 100 km from IRAS data. The atlas consists of resolution-enhanced co-added images with 1@È2@ resolution and co-added images at the native IRAS resolution. The IRAS Galaxy Atlas, together with the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory H I line/21 cm...

The concept of the "Local Monitor Box" (LMB) as a modular building block is described. The first implementation consists of a CAN bus node and a 16+7 bit delta-sigma ADC for the readout of Pt100 high precision temperature sensors. The CANOpen standard is employed as high-level software protocol. The general implementation will be discussed and results from tests performed with the ATLAS LAr cal...

The Atlas of Descriptive Histology is an extremely comprehensive and well-organized atlas composed of 159 photographed micrographs covering everything from basic tissue to full organ histology. In a clear, systematic fashion, the authors move from simple tissue structures to complex organ systems, including micrographs of the adult tongue, lip, teeth, eye, ear, and developing teeth. Each chapte...

Segmentation of brain tumor images is an important task in diagnosis and treatment planning for cancer patients. To achieve this goal with standard clinical acquisition protocols, conventionally, either classification algorithms are applied on multimodal MR images or atlas-based segmentation is used on a high-resolution mono-modal MR image. These two approaches have been commonly regarded separ...

We describe our submission to the MICCAI 2013 SATA Challenge. The method is based on multi-atlas based label propagation, its major characteristic being that is uses the concept of an atlas forest to represent an atlas. This results in an efficient scheme, which requires only a single registration to label a target. Fusion of the probabilistic label proposals from each atlas is done by averagin...

This article describes the SRI24 atlas, a new standard reference system of normal human brain anatomy, that was created using template-free population registration of high-resolution magnetic resonance images acquired at 3T in a group of 24 normal control subjects. The atlas comprises anatomical channels (T1, T2, and proton density weighted), diffusion-related channels (fractional anisotropy, m...

The Farnese Atlas is a Roman statue depicting the Titan Atlas holding up a celestial globe that displays an accurate representation of the ancient Greek constellations (see Figures 1 and 2). This is the oldest surviving depiction of this set of the original Western constellations, and as such can be a valuable resource for studying their early development. The globe places the celestial fi gure...

Edmund Beecher Wilson [5] in the US published An Atlas of Fertilization and Karyokinesis of the Ovum (hereafter called An Atlas) in 1895. The book presents photographs by photographer Edward Leaming that capture stages of fertilization [6], the fusion of sperm [7] and egg [8] and early development of sea urchin [9] (Toxopneustes variegatus) ova, or egg [8] cell. Prior to An Atlas, no one photog...

There is a long history and a growing interest in the canine as a subject of study in neuroscience research and in translational neurology. In the last few years, anatomical and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of awake and anesthetized dogs have been reported. Such efforts can be enhanced by a population atlas of canine brain anatomy to implement group analyses. Here we pres...
