โœฆ Synopsis

A method for quantifying esophageal transit by means of 81mKr is described. The principal advantage of 81mKr compared with 99mTc is its ultra-short half-life with its consequences on radiation dose and counting statistics. Factors which may influence the esophageal transit time such as body posture, volume of the tracer, and the nature of the tracer were studied. The reproducibility of the technique is quite good and its capacity to detect minor esophageal transit disorders is demonstrated.

A method is presented for the automated determination of the right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) by digital image processing of scintigrams obtained by intravenous infusion of Krypton 81m (81mKr) dissolved in a glucose solution.

The aim of this work was to compare the advantages and the limitations of several data processing techniques for the assessment of esophageal transit. The following qualitative methods were evaluated: (a) scintigraphic image, (b) cine-display, (c) regional time-activity curve, and (d) condensed imag
