“…These systems are inadequate for studying the dilution of isotopically labelled substances in organs or at some point in the cardiovascular system where isotope count rates must be measured more frequently (up to 10 −1 second for each isotope). Several methods have been devised to temporarily store these count rates on magnetic tape (1)(2)(3).…”

An interface for use with radioisotope disintegration counting has increased the efficiency and expanded the uses of radioisotopes in the study of dynamic phenomena. Counting periods as short as 0.1 sec can be used for several channels simultaneously providing rapid data acquisition and permitting storage on digital magnetic tape and/or real-time data analysis with a general purpose digital computer. Disintegration rates from several radioisotopes can be sampled simultaneously enabling corrections for count spill-over and background in real time. In the system described there are 6 channels (for up to 6 radioisotopes) but 12 may easily be incorporated.

A multidetector system for regional pulmonary function evaluations using xenon-l33 is described. Sixteen KaI(T1) detectors (eight collinear pairs) are employed and counting data is accumulated into a 1600-word magnetic core memory via a high speed, buffered, data acquisition system. The data are read out from the magnetic core memory to digital magnetic tape for processing and analysis using a laboratory computer system.A general description of the experimental techniques of radiospirometry and of the methods for data analysis is given.
