Abstract
Real time acquisition of cardiac or other gated cyclical data using a scintillation camera with image formulation utilizing only such data that satisfied a preselected time frame for each cycle. The technique provides real time processing of gated data without the need for specialized hardware equipment or for post processing of the data. Unwanted information corresponding to cycles falling outside a preselected time frame are deleted in real time and hence do not contribute to the cumulative cardiac image.
