(Scintillation Camera, Scintillation Gamma Camera, Gamma Scintillation Camera or Anger Gamma Camera)
A gamma camera is an imaging device used in nuclear medicine to scan patients who have been injected, inhaled, or ingested with small amounts of radioactive materials emitting gamma rays. The gamma camera records the quantity and distribution of the radionuclide that is attracted to a specific organ or tissue of interest. The first gamma camera was developed and introduced by Hal O. Anger in 1957/58. The structure hasn't changed by today. A gamma camera consists of:
•
a collimator, usually a multihole collimator;
•
detector crystals, typically thallium-activated NaI scintillation crystal are used;
•
photomultiplier tube array
•
shielding to minimize background radiation
•
position logic circuits
•
and the data analysis computer
Through this design the simultaneous registration of gamma ray photons is possible, the computer further allows dynamic imaging. See also Pinhole, Elution, Center of Rotation, First Pass Scintigraphy, and Anger Hal Oscar. Further Reading: Basics:
