Description
Summary:Nuclear Medicine is one of the first domains in which the analysis of image sequences was introduced. The development of this analysis was achieved parallel to the one of the computer systems linked to the scintillation cameras. The number of works that were performed in the research laboratories and have received an application in clinical routine is however limited. The authors indicate what could be the flow chart of the processing of dynamic sequences in scintigraphy and the kind of material that would be necessary to implement it. The possibilities of using the factor and compartmental analyses in clinical routine are particularly emphasized. The authors indicate why the factors and their associated images obtained by means of the factor analysis can have a physiological meaning.
