basic and new techniques for mri of the breast

mri of the breast has evolved as a non-invasive imaging modality and is ideally suited for several indications e.g. pre-operative staging and screening in women at increased risk for breast cancer. the widespread use opens also the discussion on over-diagnosis if only 20 - 30 out of 100 mri - guided breast biopsies lead to the diagnosis of breast cancer. thus mri based strategies are needed to ...

Transgenesis for pig models

Animal models, particularly pigs, have come to play an important role in translational biomedical research. There have been many pig models with genetically modifications via somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). However, because most transgenic pigs have been produced by random integration to date, the necessity for more exact gene-mutated models using recombinase based conditional gene expres...

Basic probabilistic techniques

Warning: notes are incomplete and unchecked for correctness 1 Gaussian distribution 1.1 Definition The (standard) Gaussian distribution on the real line R is defined by its density function φ(z) := 1 √ 2π exp(−z 2 /2). The notation Z ∼ N (0, 1) means that the real-valued random variable Z follows the standard Gaussian distribution. The " N " probably comes from the fact that the distribution is...

Basic Developing Techniques for Fluorescein Angiography

One way to define photography is as a process of information transferral. As ophthalmic photographers, we are responsible for the transferral of information concerning our patient's eye onto film. As fluorescein angiographers, we must transfer specific information documenting the pathways of fluorescein dye as it travels through the patient's retinal blood vessels. Through the manipulation of f...
