  • Abstract
    A germanium gamma-camera has been interfaced to a conventional x-ray CT computer obviating the need for a separate camera control console. The computer provides all the functions of hardwired consoles (including the persistence oscilloscope), and increases the flexibility of the system. Updated images are available on a real time basis, and a high quality display provides reliable transcription of images onto Polaroid or transparent film.
