Abstract:A method for the rapid determination of left ventricular cavity areas in angiocardiograms has been developed. The angiocardiographie information is transformed into a videosignal and evaluated by an electronic analogue circuitry. Exact measurements could be obtained only by using a new electronic device which corrects for the inhomogeneous background of the angiocardiograms. The method was used in 193 angiocardiograms. The results showed good correlation with those obtained by conventional planimetry (r = 0.99… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
