ABSTRACT:
A nuclear imaging system and method are provided for synchronously recovering the field of view of a target to be imaged includes multiple detectors attached to a gantry, a support member or wobbling ring and a driver. The driver engages the wobbling ring whereby the wobbling ring rotates with respect to the gantry. The wobbling ring cooperates with the detectors causing the detectors to synchronously adjust to multiple viewing positions of a detection target, enabling recovery of the full field of view from an otherwise truncated field of view if the detectors were stationary with respect to the gantry.
