The role of 99mTc-labelled glucosamine (99mTc-ECDG) in the evaluation of rheumatic joint disease: a screening experience.

abstract：:A method of deconvolution analysis involving the use of the z-transform has been developed. When compared to the matrix method, it is shown, under certain circumstances, to be identical. In order to study the validity of the method, simple mathematical models have been constructed. The curves obtained with the compute...
