摘要： A vest for positioning medical instrumentation about the human or animal torso to provide ambulatory monitoring of patient cardiac functions or administration of medication or therapy with reasonable freedom of movement while maintaining precise positioning of the instrumentation relative to the torso. The vest functions to provide accurate placement of such instrumentation as a radioactive emission sensor for monitoring ejection fraction. The vest typically includes a sheet of a dimensionally rigid material such as a low density polymer tailored to fit between neck and hips and to surround the torso, terminating on the back. Straps are provided to fasten the sheet ends together at the back and to suspend it from the shoulders. The vest may also be instrumented to function as a transducer itself to detect chest expansion for heart beat or lung volume monitoring.

摘要： A variable angle radiation collimator particularly for use in gamma-photon medical diagnostic systems in a gamma-photon camera system for radiological examination of human subjects. The collimator provides collimation of gamma-photon radiation along a single beam direction which may be varied along two axes to adjust exposure angle or to provide a scanning capability. The collimator is a stack of substantially identical radiation-opaque plates, each of which are apertured with a similar array of openings. The combined effect of the stacked aperture plates is to transmit radiation in a predetermined orientation. The collimated angle of the radiation thus generated is controlled by the coincidence of the array of openings. The stack is retained by a mechanism which permits adjustment of the collimation angle, and the plates are fabricated to provide ease of shear motion during such adjustment. In addition, the tradeoff between the resolution and intensity of radiation transmitted may be easily varied by adjusting stack thickness.

摘要： An ambulatory ventricular function anaylzer system is provided. The ambulatory ventricular function analyzer system is carried by a garment worn by a cardiac patient and includes ECG electrodes, a main left ventricular probe detector, and a background lung probe detector for providing diagnostically useful information while the patient goes about the normal activities of daily life. An information processing sub-system including a microprocessor responds to the electrode signal and to the probe signals and provides composite data representative of the ECG activity, the background lung time-activity, the left ventricular time-activity, and an R-wave histogram averaged over multiple cardiac cycles. The averaged data is sequentially sotred over a long time interval on magnetic tape in plural categories representing premature ventricular contraction, postpremature ventricular contraction, and normal ventricular contraction for subsequent display on a computer-based graphics display for study by a cardiac specialist. The main left ventricular function probe detector includes an array of cadmium telluride crystals mounted in a Pb housing having a parallel hole Pb collimator. The detector is substantially insensitive to position changes that arise during ambulatory monitoring.
