Comput Tomogr. 1978;2(1):37-44. doi: 10.1016/0363-8235(78)90053-4.

Abstract

In vitro and in vivo animal experiments have demonstrated the potential for using computerized tomography in heart imaging. This paper summarizes some of the work done in our laboratory related to heart imaging of dogs, of cadavers, and of live subjects using the CT approach. We have also provided examples demonstrating a method for computing the heart volume from serial CT images.
