METHOD OF IMAGING BY SPECT

摘要

The invention relates to a method of imaging a target organ in a patient by SPECT, by using a gamma camera having a gamma detector, and by computer reconstructing the distribution of the radioactivity inside the patient's body from planar images, acquired along at least one linear orbit performed in a transverse direction, the so-called LOrA tomographic method, wherein the gamma detector is a solid-state detector having a transverse width that is smaller than the cross-section of the patient's body. The invention further relates to a combination of said gamma detector and a suitable collimator, and to a gamma camera provided therewith.
