ABSTRACT:
A high-resolution radioisotopic imaging system employs spaced-apart non-contiguous thin and thick electronic collimation detectors arranged about a radioisotopic source field of radioisotopic atoms, each operative for detecting a plurality of gamma rays, or at least one position, or a combination of at least one position and at least one gamma ray. The detectors specify a plurality of emission probability fields which intersect in space to form a reduced emission probability field.
