Using local time activity curves parameters are calculated which depend on the local wall motion of the heart cavities. These functional parameters allow the determination of the contours of the heart cavities and the assessment of segmental wall motion disorders. The left ventricular ejection fraction has been calculated by enddiastolic and endsystolic counts using a method which takes into account background inhomogeneity.
