1. A polar map is a 2-D image, representing the complete ventricular perfusion; the radius corresponds approximately to the distance from the apex, the angle specifies the angular position of the point relative to the long axis of the left ventricle.
2. Dual X Ray Absorptiometry
3. Quantitative Computer Tomography
4. Using the density profile analysis option of 3-DVIEWNIX (Medical Image Processing Group, University of Pennsylvania), every distance was measured 20 times from which the mean value and standard deviation were obtained.
5. By traditional planning we refer to a microcomputer program supplied with a specific stereotactic localiser frame. This small program only allows the calculation of the 3-D coordinates of any point, given its slice coordinates, and the calculation of the probe guide angles after the definition of the trajectory.
6. At the moment we are comparing SL models to stereoscopic displayed surface renderings also.
