A new 80-lens oscilloscope camera for routine dynamic organ scintigraphy.

A simple, reliable, and cost-effective 80-lens photographic camera records dynamically from the oscilloscope of a scintillation camera without degradation of spatial resolution or data loss. Most physiologic events can be recorded completely and without interruption on a single 9 X 12-cm negative film as 40 sequential time-frames, using one of six available exposures per frame. In addition, 40 simultaneous sequential time-frames of four times the chosen duration may bracket a transient event with increased data density. The 80-lens camera has been used routinely for perfusion scintigraphy of brain, heart, liver, kidneys,and lungs with excellent results.
