[A method of processing scintigrams of the thyroid gland].
The authors proposed a method of mathematical processing of thyroid scintigrams, ensuring enlarged sizes of the gland image, removal of background zones, the effective use of shades in images, and automatic computation of a difference of drug accumulation by the thyroid lobes. The solution of these problems minimized the effects of some negative factors limiting the accuracy of deciphering thyroid scintigrams. The method was implemented in the form of an automated program THYROI written in FORTRAN and designed for PDP-11 and NOVA-3 computers. Thyroid image processing lasts 1 min., the results are recorded on paper or a Polaroid film in an enlarged form. The program can be translated into other mathematical languages and applied to computers of other types.
