ABSTRACT:
A nuclear medicine image is scanned and pixels of maximum and minimum intensity are identified and correlated with each other using constraints which are empirically determined to relate to the feature of interest (such as the heart). The information thus obtained is used to define a region of interest in which an anatomical feature of interest may be located, and to position a scintillation camera detector to carry out a nuclear medicine study at optimal positions.
