Quantitative methods in the evaluation of thallium-201 myocardial perfusion images
Abstract
Methods have been developed for on-line computer enhancement of a scintillation camera's myocardial images and for a graphical presentation showing relative thallium-201 activity in the myocardium. Enhancement uses fast Fourier transform techniques. The methods have been applied to multiple images obtained after stress and 4--5 hr rest. Patients with myocardial infarction and/or transient ischemia were evaluated and typical examples are presented.
