Patent number: 7838838Abstract: An imaging system is provided for radioimaging a region of interest (ROI) of a subject. The system includes a housing, a support structure, which is movably coupled to the housing, and at least one motor assembly, coupled to the housing and the support structure, and configured to move the support structure with respect to the housing. The system also includes at least two detector assemblies, fixed to the support structure, and comprising respective radiation detectors and angular orientators. A control unit drives the motor assembly to position the support structure in a plurality of positions with respect to the housing, and, while the support structure is positioned in each of the plurality of positions, drives the orientators to orient the respective detectors in a plurality of rotational orientations with respect to the ROI, and to detect radiation from the ROI at the rotational orientations. Other embodiments are also described.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2009Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignee: Spectrum Dynamics LLCInventors: Benny Rousso, Shlomo Ben-Haim, Haim Melman, Michael Nagler, Yoel Zilberstien, Sajed Haj-Yahya
