Abstract
Diagnostic system is described that obtains a set of serial gated images (SGI) covering the entire cardiac cycles and left ventricular (LV) volume curve (VC) with high temporal resolution (10msec) . The system consists of two functional parts. The one, which is based upon an inexpensive modification of multiformat imaging device, yields SGI. The other, which is based on a minicomputer system, acquires data only from around about LV area and yields LVVC from EGG P wave without the reconstruction of these images. In as little as 5 min result, which is also corrected uniformity of γ-camera, is given.
