1. An imaging system for acquiring imaging data generated by an object positioned about a lateral axis to form a SPECT image, said system comprising:

  • first and second gamma ray detectors;

    a first pair of rings, oriented substantially perpendicular to and approximately centered on the lateral axis;

    a second pair of rings, oriented substantially perpendicular to and centered approximately on said lateral axis means for coupling said first detector to said first pair of rings, with the first detector pointed toward the lateral axis and disposed between said rings;

    means for coupling said second detector to said second pair of rings, with the second detector pointed toward said lateral axis and disposed between said rings; and

    means for independently rotating said first pair of rings to adjust the angular displacement, about the lateral axis, between said first and second detectors to a predetermined magnitude.
