ABSTRACT:
A supporting structure allows a conventional, counterbalanced scintillation camera to be adapted for emission tomography analysis by rotating a detector in a circular orbit about a patient. The structure includes a base having a pair of upright stanchions supporting an upright circular frame which has a central, longitudinal axis. The upright circular frame comprises an outer circular ring and a concentric inner circular ring adapted for concentric relative rotation. An elongated frame pivotally supports a detector at one end and has a counterweight at the other end is tiltably mounted within the inner circular ring of the circular frame. The structure includes a drive system for rotating the elongated frame within the circular frame whereby the detector orbits the patient to receive emission data.
