A file format for the exchange of nuclear medicine image data: a specification of Interfile version 3.3.

Working Group 1 of the European project COST-B2 on quality assurance of nuclear medicine software has been concerned with the development of an appropriate mechanism for the transfer of nuclear medicine image data files between computer systems from different vendors. To this end a protocol based upon Report No. 10 of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) [1] was adopted. A previous publication [2] gave a specification (V3.2) for an intermediate file format with a list of key-value pairs for the header data associated with nuclear medicine image data files. This paper presents a revised specification for the intermediate file format and associated keys, now called V3.3, which has evolved from the experience in using the earlier version. It is hoped that the modifications proposed will improve the definition and usability of the file format as given in the earlier version.

Camera-computer systems for rapid dynamic imaging studies.

The extraction of valuable diagnostic information from rapid, dynamic studies performed on a gamma camera requires that the data be recorded for latter analysis. If these data are to be available rapidly and if quantitative analysis is to be performed, it is imperative that a computer be used in conjuction with the gamma camera. This review describes the more important features of a nuclear medicine computer system both from the point of view of hardware and software. The various aspects that cause some limitations to be imposed on the capability of the system in order to carry out fast, dynamic studies are described and some possible solutions are suggested.

Computers in nuclear imaging.

Currently, the practice of nuclear medicine in larger institutions is practically dependent upon the availability of a computer system. Gamma cameras are connected online to mini-computer systems which have the ability to collect image data in a number of different formats. This permits sophisticated analysis techniques to be used so that quantitative data may be extracted from the images. In some instances, as in tomography, data are reconstructed into images to give views of organs that would otherwise be impossible to obtain.
