<p>An imaging apparatus with a flexible light guide which a surgeon can easily manipulate within the patient to control the field of view. Specifically, a scintillator (200) receives radiation rays and converts these radiation rays into light signals at a position inside the body. A flexible bundle of optical fibers (205) optically connected at the scintillator (200) channels the light signals from the scintillator (200) to a position sensitive light signal detector (210) located outside the body. The position sensitive light signal detector creates a digital signal to relay the position information about the detected event to a computer (235) which accumulates these digital signals, converts these digital signals into images and displays the images.</p> |
