1. A camera for imaging of radiation emitted from a patient that includes:

  • at least one assembly, the assembly comprises plurality of heads, each comprising at least one pixilated solid-state detector being configured to detect photons emitted from the body during image acquisition and being collimated to define one or more collection angles for the detector pixels; and

    one or more actuators which control the position and orientation of at least one of the heads relative to the assembly during image acquisition,wherein at least one of the heads is configured to be translated forward, relative to said assembly, along a general direction that the head is aimed at during image acquisition and to change its viewing direction by rotation while in a forward translated position.
