Abstract
Methods were developed for on-line computer enhancement of a scintillation camera''s myocardial images and for a graphical presentation showing relative 201Tl activity in the myocardium. Enhancement uses fast Fourier transform techniques. The methods were applied to multiple images obtained after stress and 4-5 h rest. Patients with myocardial infarction and/or transient ischemia were evaluated and typical examples are presented.
