Abstract :
A new high spatial and temporal resolution parametric image processing program has been developed. The program utilizes angiographic images acquired by a constant radiographic technique, and corrects for scatter and veiling glare and constructs a number of parametric images that can be quantitated. Because of its high resolution, the program permits a better understanding of the data and allows detection of imaging artifacts, i.e., overlapping recirculation regions. The program is applicable to various organs including the heart, kidney and gills
