Patent Images

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

  • at least one assembly comprising a plurality of heads, where each head comprises;

    at least one pixilated solid-state detector configured to detect photons emitted from the body during image acquisition and collimated to define one or more collection angles for pixels of said detector; and

    one or more actuators configured to control the position and orientation of at least one of said heads relative to the assembly, during image acquisition,wherein at least one of the heads is configured to be translated forward to be in close proximity to said body, relative to said assembly, along a general direction that the head is aimed at during image acquisition and to change its viewing direction by repeated oscillatory motion, where data is acquired during said oscillatory motion.
