ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems are provided for radioactive imaging of a test subject. At least one detector is operative to detect a radiation type associated with the subject. A test bed supports the test subject. A collimator assembly is positioned between the test bed and the at least one detector. The collimator assembly is not mechanically coupled to the at least one detector.
