ABSTRACT:
Two planar nuclear medicine images of a target organ are acquired using a focussing collimator at two different heights. An anatomic landmark associated with the target organ is computer-identified in each of the images, and the depth of the target organ is determined geometrically using the differences in size between the images of the identified landmark and the differences in height.
