Abstract
A method based on a modified gamma function is developed to define cardiopulmonary parameters (cardiac output, right heart, pulmonary and left heart blood volumes and mean pulmonary time) from radiocardiograms taken with a single detector. The method is well suited to clinical routine and requires only a desk calculator or a mini-computer.Keywords
