Abstract:
The authors have developed the methods of computer processing of scintigrams allowing to objectify the state of capillary blood flow in lungs by a set of computer parameters: the spectral characteristics of activity nonuniformity and the measure of perfusion deficiency. The results of clinical studies, confirming high efficiency of the developed algorithms, are presented.

Keywords:
lung scintigraphic, сomputer processing, image, capillary blood, perfusion deficiency, nonuniformity.
