摘要
One aspect of the present invention relates to screening patients for an early stage of coronary artery disease. According to this method, a patient (305) is screened based on the time-activity curve for a radioactive tracer (301) passing through a left ventricle region (303) of the patient's body.(305) According to another aspect of the invention, an array of gamma particle detectors (200) is employed to obtain data for a region of interest taht is larger than and encompasses a left ventricle region (303) of the patient's body (305). An analysis of the data identifies the subset of the region of interest that corresponds to the left ventricle region.(303) According to a further aspect of the present invention, a second technique is employed to locate the left ventricle region (303). A still further aspect of the present invention relates to high temporal resolution gamma cameras (200).
