[Computerized processing of static scintigraphic gamma camera images. Experimental results and clinical applications]

Two different phantoms were used to carry out several scintigraphic experiments with a gamma camera linked to a computer. Each image was subjected to several types of electronic processing. The contrast was assessed in certain pre-established areas in order to obtain an indication of the efficacity of the various techniques. The experimental results were transferred to scintigraphic application methodology with the formulation of treatment schedules consisting of a variable sequence of successive processings designed to improve the quality of the information required for more accurate diagnosis.
