ABSTRACT:
Anatomical landmarks relating to a target organ which is to be studied in a nuclear medicine study are automatically identified by a computer. The landmarks are superimposed upon a nuclear medicine persistence image of the target organ. This facilitates technician identification of the target organ and also facilitates repeatability of, e.g., myocardial perfusion studies, which require that two studies be performed on a single patient at two different times.
