ABSTRACT:
In a diagnostic apparatus of this invention, an accumulated or deposited state of an administered radioactive medicine in an organ or the like of a living body is detected from the outside of the living body by detecting portions, each constituted by at least one scintillation detector and at least one collimator, so as to obtain an image of the state. The apparatus includes three detecting portions. Driving mechanisms are provided for at least two of the detecting portions to linearly move and rotate them.
