[Comprehensive range of services for general hospitals in the area of organ donation nearly doubles the number of donors in 2 years with a simultaneously economical process].

To overcome the donor shortage, any potential donor resource must be detected. By establishing a professional service for peripheral hospitals, the numbers of donors available in small hospitals could be nearly doubled: 85% of all donors in our region come from nonuniversity hospitals. By using total quality management techniques, the time requirements for organ donation after confirmation of brain-death and given consent could be reduced to 6 h.

Cost-Benefit Analysis

Texture-based X-ray image segmentation by topological map.

The texture-based segmentation of x-ray images of focal bone lesions using topological maps is introduced. Texture characteristics are described by image-point correlation of feature images to feature vectors. For the segmentation, the topological map is labeled using an improved labeling strategy. Results of the technique are demonstrated on original and synthetic x-ray images and quantified with the aid of quality measures. In addition, a classifier-specific contribution analysis is applied for assessing the feature area.
