Publication number: 20110237941Abstract: A method for imaging a body, including scanning the body so as to generate a tomographic image thereof, and analyzing the tomographic image to determine a location of a region of interest (ROI) (38) within the body. The method includes providing single photon counting detector modules (40), each of the modules being configured to receive photons from a respective direction and to generate a signal in response thereto. The method further includes coupling each of the modules to a respective adjustable mount (54), adjusting each of the adjustable mounts so that the direction of the module coupled thereto is aligned with respect to the location so as to receive radiation from the ROI, operating each of the modules to receive the photons from the ROI, and, in response to the signal generated by each of the modules, generating a single photon counting image of the ROI.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2008Publication date: September 29, 2011Applicant: Orbotech Ltd.Inventors: Arie Shahar, Uri El-Hanany, Zeev Gutman, Shimon Cohen, Dan Zemer, Aharon Amrami
