ABSTRACT:
A radiation detection device is provided which comprises a box-like housing having a radiation permeable window located in one side.
A scintillator is mounted in the housing; the scintillator comprising a first tube of radiation permeable material encasing a central core of scintillation material such as sodium iodide surrounded by a light reflective material, and a means for converting light signals into electric signals are connected with the scintillator.
A rotating collimator surrounds the scintillator including a second tube of radiation permeable material, a plurality of channel forming members comprised of a radiation impermeable material formed in groups around the second tube, a plurality of groups being located axially along the second tube, wherein each group of channel forming members define a plurality of radial channels capable of being directed toward the radiation permeable window during rotation.
