OSTI ID:4316948
A gamma imaging camera with a scintillation crystal and a plurality of phototubes is described. A light pipe optically couples the crystal and the tubes. The light pipe has, at its output end, a plurality of truncated pyramids each associated with one of the phototubes. As disclosed, the walls of the pyramids are hexagonal in cross-sectional configuration and flare outwardly to intersect adjacent walls, thus providing a continuous field of view. The disclosure also shows a lift-out detector head subassembly construction. (Official Gazette)
