ABSTRACT:
First and second scintillation camera detectors are provided and are mounted, respectively, to first and second yoke assemblies. The first yoke assembly is mounted to a ring gear which is rotatable within a vertical plane about a horizontal axis. The second yoke assembly is mounted to an annulus which is located within the ring gear and which is rotatable within the plane and about the axis. A rotating device is provided for rotating the ring gear in the plane and about the axis and a locking device is also provided for locking the first and second yoke assemblies together, whereby the first and second yoke assemblies rotate together when they are locked together and the first yoke assembly is being rotated by the rotating device. Advantageously, each detector is pivotally secured to its corresponding yoke assembly and each of the detectors is radially movable towards and away from the axis of the gantry. Further advantageously, the entire gantry is laterally moveable.
