Abstract

A description is given of a workstation developed at the Medical College of Ohio for use in quantitative functional analysis of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The workstation is based on a Macintosh II computer and was developed using the Smalltalk-80 programming environment. The workstation is used clinically by physicians to aid in functional analysis of the heart and early detection of coronary artery disease
