Abstract: An arrangement for a motor vehicle having a trim component, in particular a bumper, and a radar sensor is disclosed. In order to detect target objects, the radar sensor is designed to emit electromagnetic waves through the trim component and to receive radiation echoes from the target objects. The radar sensor has an azimuthal detection angle, by which a field of vision of the radar sensor in the azimuthal direction is defined, and is arranged at a distance from a rear side of the trim component, with the result that the azimuthal field of vision of the radar sensor intersects the trim component in an intersection region. In order to absorb interference waves outside the azimuthal detection angle an absorptive material is applied outside the intersection region in the azimuthal direction to the rear side of the trim component, where the intersection region is free of absorptive material.

Abstract: In a disclosed imaging method, the instantaneous speed or data acquisition dwell times of a detector head (14, 16) is optimized as a function of position along a path (P) of the detector head around a subject (S, SS, SXL). The optimization is respective to an expected radioactive emission profile (EPROI) of a region of interest (H, HS, HXL) that is less than the entire subject. The detector head is traversed along the path using the optimized instantaneous speed or data acquisition dwell times (40). During the traversing, imaging data are acquired using the detector head. The acquired imaging data are reconstructed to generate a reconstructed image of at least the region of interest. A gamma camera (10) configured to perform the foregoing imaging method is also disclosed.
