Abstract
A method whereby information can be recorded during medical radioisotope scanning is described. The technique enables the position of each dot of the scintiscan to be recorded on punched paper tape in computer compatible form. A digital derandomizer is shown to be an economical way of allowing the data logging system to record randomly occurring information, without the usual loss attributable to the dead-time of the system.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
