The Performance of a Gamma Camera for the Visualization of Radioactive Isotopes in vivo

Abstract

A prototype gamma camera for visualizing the distribution of radioactivity in vivo has been investigated and improved. Performance figures are given for each parameter that has been changed, to serve as a guide for practical applications and future development of the instrument. The camera differs from that of Anger mainly in that the display is presented on a storage tube; some advantages of this method of display are given.
