Our collimators are in used with the Gamma cameras and medical imaging devices used to visualize and quantify the distribution of radioactive tracers in the body. These tracers are often injected into the patient and emit gamma rays, which are detected by the gamma camera and used to create images of the distribution of the tracer in the body. One key component of gamma cameras is the collimator, which plays a crucial role in limiting the field of view and improving the spatial resolution of the images produced.
A collimator consists of a matrix of small tubes, typically made of lead, arranged in a hexagonal pattern. When gamma rays enter the collimator, they are either absorbed by the lead or pass through the tubes and are detected by a scintillation crystal in the gamma camera. The size and shape of the tubes, as well as the thickness of the lead material between them, can be tailored to optimize the performance of the collimator.
There are several different types of collimators, each with their own advantages and limitations. Parallel hole collimators are the most common type, but diverging hole collimators can produce minified images, while converging hole and pinhole collimators produce magnified images. The choice of collimator for a particular gamma camera depends on the specific requirements of the examination being performed, such as the desired level of sensitivity and spatial resolution.
In summary, the collimator is an essential component of gamma cameras, allowing for the controlled detection and visualization of gamma rays emitted by radioactive tracers in the body. Its design and characteristics play a key role in the performance of the gamma camera, influencing both the sensitivity and spatial resolution of the images produced.
