Abstract
(in English) This
book (which also serves as a user manual for the
OSTNUCLINE computer system) describes in detail
the issues of mathematical analysis, modeling and complex
computer evaluation of functional scintigraphic
examinations in nuclear medicine.
OSTNUCLINE
system One of the implementation outputs
of research and development work carried out at the
Department of Nuclear Medicine of the University Hospital
in Ostrava in the field of physical-mathematical aspects
of scintigraphy is the OSTNUCLINE system ( OST RAVA NUC LEAR LINE )
for mathematical analysis and complex
evaluation of scintigraphic studies on PC.
. This
system provides fast, comprehensive and exact evaluation
of a wide range of scintigraphic studies (especially
dynamic ones). The system was built at the Ostrava
workplace in team cooperation and implemented gradually
on the evaluation device CLINCOM, GAMMA-11,
Amiga-Microsegams and finally a PC. He proved himself in
an intensive clinical operation in the evaluation of many
thousands of scintigraphic studies, both at the author's
workplace and at a number of other workplaces in our
country and at some workplaces abroad. The main effort in
building this system was to achieve maximum
flexibility , generality and complexityevaluation of
scintigraphic studies, with the greatest possible elegance , unpretentiousness and ease of use for the operator.
|
This work was created gradually in
the framework of several research tasks
and grants, the last of which was the project No. 5586-3
" Comlex evaluation of scintigraphic examinations
in a computer network PC " with the support of Int.
Grant agencies of the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic.
