The development of personal computer technology has resulted in extremely powerful, inexpensive computers available as consumer items. With the addition of suitable hardware for gamma camera interfacing and image display, such systems can be transformed into fully functional nuclear medicine computers capable of performing all of the acquisition and processing tasks required in a modern radioisotope imaging department. Such an approach to nuclear medicine computerization offers many advantages in terms of flexibility, speed, cost, and expandability.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008838 Microcomputers Small computers using LSI (large-scale integration) microprocessor chips as the CPU (central processing unit) and semiconductor memories for compact, inexpensive storage of program instructions and data. They are smaller and less expensive than minicomputers and are usually built into a dedicated system where they are optimized for a particular application. "Microprocessor" may refer to just the CPU or the entire microcomputer. Computers, Personal,Microprocessors,Computer, Personal,Microcomputer,Microprocessor,Personal Computer,Personal Computers
