[Diagnostic system for assessment of left ventricular function with 99mTc-albumin (author's transl)].
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 (10 msec). 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 ECG P wave without the reconstruction of these images. In as little as 5 min result, which is also corrected uniformity of gamma-camera, is given.
