Radionuclide annular single crystal scintillator camera with rotating collimator

A radionuclide emission tomography camera is described for sensing gamma ray emissions from a source within the field of view consisting of: a fixed, position-sensitive detector means, responsive to the gamma ray emissions and surrounding the field of view for detecting the contact position and the trajectory from which a gamma ray emission originates, the fixed, position-sensitive detector including a single continuous stationary scintillation crystal; rotatable collimator means, disposed between the fixed, position-sensitive detecto means and the field of view, and including at least one array of collimator elements, for restricting and collimating the gamma ray emissions; and means for rotating the collimator means relative to the fixed, position-sensitive detector, for exposing different sections of the position-sensitive detector to the gamma ray emissions in order to view the source from different angles
