Who cares that these “Science” pages on apple.com promote Macs when what can be learned here is accurate, authoritative, and compelling? The image above is from an article called “Breakthrough: Unmasking Early-Stage Alzheimer’s Disease.” Featuring the work of Professor James Brewer of the University of California at San Diego, the text explains how he uses Mac technology in brain analysis. Included is a QuickTime movie of a 256-slice brain MRI.
Instead of being put off by the advertising implications of these pages, why not look at them as apprentice pages. This spot on the Web is a marvelous small tutorial from the real world of medicine on how to obtain and manipulate images of the living brain.
