ABSTRACT:
A nuclear imaging radiation system including a gamma camera which, in one embodiment, includes a scintillation crystal, a collimator and an array of photomultiplier tubes, is described. The collimator is positioned adjacent a face of the crystal, and defines a field of view. The array of photomultiplier tubes is positioned adjacent an opposite face of the crystal, and selected tubes outside the field of view are disabled so that light events outside of the field of view are not processed.
