A software system (MicroSegams) is described which is able to acquire, store, present, and process nuclear medicine images. The most important basic procedures (e.g., image acquisition from a gamma camera, selection of a study from the catalogue, drawing regions of interest, etc.) and complete clinical procedures (e.g., renography, brain perfusion, etc.) can be activated directly from the system menu by mouse. The language s L an (a subset of programming language C containing more than 200 elementary functions) can also be used to write new procedures to be interpreted or compiled. The system is offered as a basic tool for the performance of static, dynamic, gated, or tomographic investigations in clinical practice.
