Adrenal Glands : Diagnostic Aspects and Surgical Therapy
Surgery of the Adrenal Glands is a comprehensive medical textbook that includes everything that a surgeon, but for all purposes any physicain or medical student, may want to find on adrenal surgery in a friendly, up to date, evidence based manner. 30 of the most renowned names in the field of adrenal surgery from the US and Europe draw on their experience in exploring diagnosis, indications for surgery, choice of operation and operative techniques, and surgical outcomes for every major adrenal condition. Over 200 exquisite illustrations, ranging from intraoperative photographs, line drawings, diagnostic images, pathology slides, tables and graphs are available to make each case discussed comprehensible and easy to follow. Traditional and novel therapeutic recommendations are introduced and the latest developments in minimal-access operative techniques are discussed and reviewed. Finally, the best approaches in dealing with challenging conditions such as adrenal incidentaloma, subclinical Cushing's syndrom, Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, Mineralcorticoid Express Syndrome, Extraadrenal and Malignant Pheochromocytoma are discussed.

Acoustics and Hearing
When one listens to music at home, one would like to have an acoustic impression close to that of being in the concert hall. Until recently this meant elaborate multi-channelled sound systems with 5 or more speakers. But head-related stereophony achieves the surround-sound effect in living rooms with only two loudspeakers. By virtue of their slight directivity as well as an electronic filter the limitations previously common to two-speaker systems can be overcome and this holds for any arbitrary two-channel recording. The book also investigates the question of how a wide and diffuse sound image can arise in concert halls and shows that the quality of concert halls decisively depends on diffuse sound images arising in the onset of reverberation. For this purpose a strong onset of reverberation is modified in an anechoic chamber by electroacoustic means.
A Theory of Shape Identification
Recent years have seen dramatic progress in shape recognition algorithms applied to ever-growing image databases. They have been applied to image stitching, stereo vision, image mosaics, solid object recognition and video or web image retrieval. More fundamentally, the ability of humans and animals to detect and recognize shapes is one of the enigmas of perception. The book describes a complete method that starts from a query image and an image database and yields a list of the images in the database containing shapes present in the query image. A false alarm number is associated to each detection. Many experiments will show that familiar simple shapes or images can reliably be identified with false alarm numbers ranging from 10-5 to less than 10-300.
A Space of Their Own : The Archaeology of Nineteenth Century Lunatic Asylums in Britain, South Australia and Tasmania
The history of lunatic asylums – what do we really know about them? Films and television programs have portrayed them as places of horror where the patients are restrained and left to listen to the cries of their fellow inmates in despair. But what was the world of nineteenth century lunatic asylums really like? Are these images true? This book will explore this world using the techniques of historical archaeology and history.
3-D Shape Estimation and Image Restoration : Exploiting Defocus and Motion-Blur
Images contain information about the spatial properties of the scene they depict. When coupled with suitable assumptions, images can be used to infer three-dimensional information. This useful volume concentrates on motion blur and defocus, which can be exploited to infer the 3-D structure of a scene—as well as its radiance properties—and which in turn can be used to generate novel images with better quality. 3-D Shape Estimation and Image Restoration presents a coherent framework for the analysis and design of algorithms to estimate 3-D shape from defocused and motion blurred images, and to eliminate defocus and motion blur to yield "restored" images. It provides a collection of algorithms that are optimal with respect to the chosen model and estimation criterion.
3D Segmentation for medical images (OsteoVision) = التقطيع ثلاثي الأبعاد للصور الطبية
With the increasing integration of AI across various sectors, artificial intelligence (AI) is already playing a significant role in the healthcare industry, and its use is expected to grow further. AI systems used in image processing and computer vision algorithms have shown a significant ability to perform many operations such as segmentation, classification, and detection. This project presents the application of computer vision algorithms in the field of medical imaging for diagnostic, therapeutic, and interventional purposes. This thesis explores the use of several computer vision algorithms to address different pathologies, specifically brain tumors (glioma) (see Appendix A) and knee osteoarthritis (OA), as well as tracking the progression of knee osteoarthritis using the Kellgren and Lawrence (KL) grading system, a common method for classifying the severity of OA into five grades. To achieve the desired impact, the project employs various techniques, including 3D segmentation for brain tumors, 2D segmentation for knee joints, and multinomial classification for determining the severity of knee OA injuries. The primary aims of the project are to enhance diagnostic accuracy, assist in creating treatment plans, provide an assistive tool for healthcare providers to make more informed decisions, leverage AI's capabilities to detect abnormalities that might escape the human eye, and streamline workflow. To facilitate these goals, the project incorporates a user-friendly UI, a website, and a Flutter-based mobile application, enabling healthcare providers to efficiently integrate these tools into their practice and improve patient care.
