ABSTRACT:
An imaging apparatus with a flexible light guide which a surgeon can easily manipulate within the patient to control the field of view. Specifically, a scintillator receives radiation rays and converts these radiation rays into light signals at a position inside the body. A flexible bundle of optical fibers optically connected to the scintillator, channels the light signals from the scintillator to a position sensitive light signal detector located outside the body. The position sensitive light signal detector creates a digital signal to relay the position information about the detected event to a computer which accumulates these digital signals, converts these digital signals into images and displays the images.
