核心脏病学,包括核素心功能检查,目前有较快的发展。核素探测仪器基本可分为两类,一类是显像装置,如γ闪烁照相机、ECT 等,其优点是可以显示某一脏器的影像,了解该器官的解剖形态学的改变,除用以测定心功能外,还有其他多方面的用途。缺点是设备较复杂,价格较昂贵,灵敏度较低。另一类为非显像装置,如核听诊器,它仅用于心功能探测,其优点为设备较简单,价格较便宜,且灵敏度高。核听诊器为美国 Wagner 教授于1976年首先提出,并于1978年由美国 Bios 公司改进及正式生产,同年,我国阜外医院等也开始进行临床应用与研究,1980年开始用于中医药的观察研究。 Nuclear cardiology, including cardiac function tests, there is a rapid development. Radionuclide detection equipment can be divided into two categories, one is the imaging device, such as gamma scintillation camera, ECT, which has the advantage of being able to display the image of an organ to understand the organ’s anatomical changes, except In addition to measuring heart function, there are many other uses. The disadvantage is the more complex equipment, more expensive, less sensitive. The other is a non-imaging device, such as a nuclear stethoscope, which is used only for cardiac function detection, which has the advantages of simpler equipment, cheaper prices, and high sensitivity. The nuclear stethoscope was first proposed by Professor Wagner in 1976 and was improved and formally produced by Bios Company in the United States in 1978. In the same year, Fuwai Hospital of our country also started clinical application and research. In 1980, it began to be used for observation and study of traditional Chinese medicine .
