Abstract. Good pancreas imaging is difficult to
achieve even if a computer is applied. The special computer program proposed here was developed to optimize the results and to minimize the operator interaction with the data processing system.
The mean value of elements of a small, automatically chosen region at the top or bottom of the digitalized 64 x 64 image is used as the first approximation of the background level. Then the next matrix elements are analyzed. The values that are within the following limits are taken to compute the next approximation. The other elements are omitted. Zn4- 3Sn
