ABSTRACT:
Data from a nuclear medicine study is classified in real time into categories which include image data relating to image pixels which are essential covarient. The results of the classification process permit a determination of, e.g., whether the camera is properly positioned at an early stage of the study and long before the study is completed. It is then possible to reposition the camera so as to obtain data which will be useful. As a result, it is unnecessary to wait until the end of a prolonged study in order to determine whether the study was taken under appropriate conditions.
