The Basic Design of Scintigraphy Equipment

Abstract:

The basic design of scintigraphy equipment for imaging small organs has been made.

The equipment is a mini gamma camera.

The function of the equipment is provide images of metbolism process in a body organ. The result of the equipment can be used to diagnose an illness. Radiation detection from a body organ is designed using single scintillation crystal detector which is coupled to a position sensitive photomultiplier tube (PSPMT).With this basic design of scintigraphy equipment is expected that scintigraphy equipment engineering activity can be carried out.
