Abstract
Analysis of radioactive colloidal gold uptake rate in the liver, which has a clinical significance as an indicator of liver blood flow, has been performed by the aid of electronic digital computer. It has been demonstrated that after adequate programming of computer well correlated values with manual calculation could be obtained by electronic computer at high speed.
Then the inadequacy of the usual measurement time in cases with liver cirrhosis was discussed. It has been shown that the measurement has to be continued up to 90min. or more in these cases. To overcome this disadvantage, especially in severe cases, new analysing process by the skillful aid of computer was proposed.
The principal advantages of the application of electronic computer, high speed calculation with relatively high accuracy, were illustrated in the pilot study by telephone communication between R.I. laboratory and Computer Center.
The usefulness of this method in clinical medicine was discussed.
