Problems concerned with the use of desk computers in the nuclear medicine are considered, viz. the structure of technical components in the radiodiagnostic systems and mathematical logistics, an analysis into comparative characteristics of some systems, as well as the experience gained by the authors in elaborating specialized mathematical logistics. This experience and a pertinent analysis prompted the authors to conclude that the use of a computer at each stage of a radioisotope investigation is a matter of necessity and of top importance, without, however, being of cardinal aid in establishing a diagnosis. An effective instrument that will be capable of rendering good service to medicine at the present level of its development should be complex diagnostic systems, whose creation will be the aim of further research work.

[Scintigraphic systems and their evaluation using computers].

A comparative characteristics of modern scintillation chambers manufactured by different firms is given. Basic parameters of the chambers and the methods of their appraisal effected by using computer technique are considered and results obtained by comparing major parameters of three chamber models ("Fo-Gamma III HP", "Fo-Gamma LFOV" and "Daina-2C") through experimental procedures by following a chosen method are presented. The authors come to the conclusion that the use of computer technique tends to greatly facilitate the procedure of the chambers' control and increases the significance and reliability of the scintigraphic findings.
