133Xe regional lung perfusion and ventilation study with the computer-assisted gamma-camera.

A new method of studying regional lung functions using 133Xe and the computer-assisted scintillation camera is described. The method and the computer processing give details of the distribution of 133Xe during perfusion and ventilation and also measures of lung function. Some cases are described in detail, and the clinical significance of the method was confirmed in 45 cases.

Diagnostic value of computer-assisted quantitative radioisotope angiocardiography.

The cardiac cavities and large vessels were studied by radioisotope angiocardiography with 99mTc-labelled albumin, using a gamma-camera linked to Med-II, with subsequent digital scanning and analysis by coloured video unit (VDP2) of the areas of iso-activity. The results are illustrated of 8 cases selected from the aggregate case histories of 78 patients (1 normal, 4 congenital heart disease, 2 rheumatic, 1 cor pulmonale chronicum). The direct observation of the course of the bolus and the activity/time curves in areas of interest in the cardiac cavities and the lungs, together with the representation of the areas of iso-activity, were useful for diagnosis and physiopathological evaluation of the heart conditions in the patients.
