Deadtime correcton in high count rate quantitative dynamic studies with computer-assisted Anger-cameras.

The use of tracers with high radioactivity in rapid dynamic quantitative studies (such as radioisotope angiocardiography), performed by the Anger-camera and data-processor, makes it possible to obtain a high counting ratemfor correct interpretation of the results of the analysis of activity/time curves in regions of interest, the authors determined, under different working conditions, the deadtimes of two Anger-cameras (Pho-gamma HP and Radicamera II), both connected to a data-processing system (Med-II). The problems inherent in this determination are analyzed and discussed. A computer program for curve correction was written and some examples of applications of it are presented, including an experiment to test the accuracy of the correction.

[Methacholine test in the study of non-specific bronchial reactivity in a group of patients allergic to pollen].

We have studied thirty subjects sensitive to pollens suffering from seasonal rhinitis and/or mild seasonal asthma. The patients were submitted to a preseasonal and to a seasonal evaluation of their bronchial reactivity by means of a metacholine provocation test in order to measure possible variations of their responsiveness. Our data shown that the metacholine provocation test is not substantially influenced by seasonal pollen stimulation; it is likely that in patients sensitive to pollens, aspecific bronchial reactivity is intermittent, so explaining the inconstant behaviour of responsiveness observed in our allergic patients.
