Abstract: A gamma ray detector module includes at least one scintillation detector configured to operate in a dot-decoding mode, or at least two scintillation detectors configured to operate in a line-decoding mode, wherein the at least one scintillation detector is each coupled to a single photodetector, and wherein the at least two scintillation detectors are coupled to at least two photodetectors arranged substantially along a line; and at least four scintillation detectors configured to operate in a plane-decoding mode, wherein the at least four scintillation detectors are coupled to a plurality of photodetectors arranged in a two-dimensional array.
