ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for effecting positron emission computed tomography comprises rows of a plurality of arrays of detectors arranged rotatably around a center of rotation in such way that at least one of the detectors in each array is disposed at an irregular position relative to the rest of detectors in the array, and that, for each revolution of the row through an angle of 360.degree.
(wherein: n represents an odd number of 3 or larger), each array of detectors will assume exactly the position occupied by its adjacent array till the revolution takes place.
