ABSTRACT:
The medical imaging system has first and second gamma camera heads. Each head has a front facing an examination field. The heads are articulatable between a first plurality of relevant orientations in which a first edge of the first head is aligned with the first edge of the second head in a parallel spaced-apart relation. A gap is defined between the first edges of sufficient dimension to accommodate a biomedical instrument.
