Analysis of wall motion abnormalities of the heart and great vessels by computer generated cine-radionuclide-equilibrium study.
Cardiac wall motion was evaluated in 54 patients by ECG-gated blood pool scintigraphy (GBPS) and computer assisted cine-radionuclide-equilibrium study (CRES). The cine format in CRES enhances the subtle aspects of great vessel and cardiac chamber motion and volume abnormalities. An off-line system using a general purpose computer permitted CRES to be initiated in smaller nuclear medicine facilities without large financial investiments.
