[A dynamic phantom for quality control of ventriculography examinations].

The authors designed and constructed device simulating the activity of the heart, based on periodic filling and emptying two rubber blowers a radioactive solution by means of two pistons in cylinders operated by two specially shaped cams. The phantom enables to control the correctness of the method and a computer programme for evaluating parameters of heart activity (ejection fraction, end-diastolic volume, pulse volume etc.) in balanced ventriculography performed by a scintillation camera coupled with a computer. The performed measurements have shown a very good agreement of the evaluated parameters with those set at the phantom. The designed device is of an original construction and was granted the author's certificate No. 238,298.
