ABSTRACT:
A method of eliminating scattered gamma rays and collecting an image comprises the steps of detecting a radioisotope (RI) given to a living body, to form an RI distribution image, and eliminating scattered gamma rays generated in the living body or a gamma camera from the RI distribution image. In this case, the energy spectrums of gamma rays incident to individual positions in the gamma camera in association with pixels of the RI distribution image are collected at the same time as or during the collection of the RI distribution image. A ratio of the scattered gamma rays with respect to the RI distribution image is acquired from the energy spectrum for each position, and a scattered gamma ray component is eliminated from the RI distribution image for each pixel, by multiplying the ratio of the scattered gamma rays to the RI distribution image.
