ABSTRACT:
A collimator is in the shape of a closed curve and has one and only one focal point. The collimator is dimensioned such that, in use, the focal point may be positioned inside the body organ to be imaged. The focal point is caused to densely trace over the body organ of interest to form a tomographic image in less time, without imaging the rest of the body slice.
