A flexible dynamic support housing for a gamma detector is described. The gamma detector (11) includes a scintillation assembly (12) and an electronic s module (13) housed within a rigid housing (22). Elongated springs extend alo ng the length of the rigid housing (22). The springs are located within an oute r flexible housing, making up an outer flexible dynamic support housing. The outer flexible dynamic support housing, when placed within a generally cylindrical cavity in a machine, takes on a generally cylindrical outer shap e. The scintillation assembly (12) includes a crystal sealed within a sealed rigid scintillation housing (37), and the electronics module (13) includes a photo-multiplier tube contained within a rigid electronics module housing. A n inner flexible dynamic housing assembly, including springs and an inner flexible housing, is positioned between the rigid housing on the outside and the sealed rigid scintillation housing (37) and the sealed rigid electronics module housing on the inside.
