ABSTRACT

A technique for generating whole-body images using an accessory developed for use with a regular commercially available Anger camera has been described. The system has been shown to give both image and quantitative data of clinical significance. The possibility of extending the system to whole body tomography is indicated.

While some of the details of the system relate specifically to the use of the existing processing facilities of a commercially available camera, the principle and much of the hardware may be applied to any camera instrument in which positional information from the detector is conveniently available in digital or analog form.
