Abstract :
The authors extend their previous computer simulation for radionuclide cardiac studies to eight components. The eight components correspond to the superior vena cava, the right atrium, the right ventricle, the pulmonary artery, the lung, the left atrium, the left ventricule, and the aorta. The ability and limitations of the method to recover exact components are discussed.<>
