Computer processing of radioisotope scanning data, along with many other computer applications, implies the ability to display the results in a pictorial form. This paper discusses an inexpensive, general-purpose CRT display designed as the output device in a radioisotope scanning research system. The FLEXICON incorporates a 240,000-bit, 20,000-micron sec-long recirculating magnetostrictive delay line memory that refreshes the 160 x 250 matrix of picture elements 50 times per second. A six-bit word for each picture element is stored in six delay lines operating in parallel. At the end of the line, each six-bit word is retimed and fed back for recirculation, in addition to being converted to video with up to 64 levels of intensity. An additional delay line provides the timing signals. An X-Y cursor and command function console allows the observer to communicate back to the controlling computer. (Author)
