1. An apparatus for use with a gamma camera detector assembly having an array of photodetectors in optical communication with a layer of scintillating material which emits light in response to incident radiation, the apparatus comprising:

  • a sheet of light transmissive material having first and second opposed surfaces, the first surface being adapted to support the layer of scintillating material; and

    a unitary member which defines a corresponding array of apertures adapted to allow light emitted by the scintillating material to be received by the array of photodetectors, the member being rigidly attached to the second surface of the sheet of light transmissive material.
