title: Use of a generalized modular data handling system in nuclear medicine.
abstract: Addition of a CAMAC modular data handling system to a small computer used for gamma-camera work has allowed the acquisition and processing of a broad variety of nuclear medicine data. Significant contributions have been made ranging from clinical renal evaluation to radiopharmaceutical development. Digital rectilinear scanning and computer acquisition of physiological signals such as the electrocardiogram are other applications. The system provides an inexpensive means of matching present-day nuclear computers to the diversity of data.
