A high purity germanium gamma-camera has been developed and is currently being evaluated. This camera incorporates unique performance parameters such as a 2 mm full-width spatial response function with rejection of multiple-scatter in the detector, a 2.2% FWHM energy resolution for 99 mTc, a 180 nsec paralyzable dead-time, and a 2 mu sec non-paralyzable dead-time. Imaging studies demonstrate the superior capabilities of this instrument.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
