Graphical computer techniques for improving the detection of myocardiac ischemia

Traditional investigative methods to detect and localise cardiac abnormalities are often difficult and time consuming. The use of minicomputers has made a dramatic impact on non-invasive diagnostic techniques in cardiac patients. The Cardiology Division of the Geneva University Hospital has assembled a minicomputer-based data acquisition/visualisation system to study cardiac structures and their associated motions using radionuclide techniques.
