A gamma camera includes first and second detectors. The first detector is located beneath a patient receiving surface. The second detector is located above the patient receiving surface. The second detector is movable between operating and retracted positions. The second detector includes a plurality of discrete detector portions, each detector portion having a first radiation sensitive face which faces an examination region and a second radiation sensitive face. The patient receiving surface generates signals indicative of pressure applied to the patient receiving surface. A movable transmission radiation source provides transmission radiation, interactions between the transmission radiation and the second detector generating Compton scattered radiation at least a portion of which is received by the first detector, coincident radiation being used to generate a transmission attenuation map. The gamma camera also includes an ultrasound device.
