Abstract
A small 4 cm X 4 cm prototype CdTe gamma camera has been constructed which demonstrates sensitivity and spacial resolution superior to the standard Anger camera. The camera is based on an array of linear solid state detectors contained within a laminar collimator which confines the field of view to one dimension. The array is rotated stepwise through 180° and data from each position recorded and computer processed. This technique leads to a major enhancement in sensitivity relative to the multihole collimator. Clinical images have been obtained and a larger CdTe camera is planned.Keywords
