  • Patent number: 3971942
    Abstract: A gamma-ray camera is described including a collimator receiving and collimating the gamma rays, a converter matrix converting the gamma rays to electrons, an electron-image multiplier receiving the electrons and producing a multiplied electron output, and means for reading out the output of the electron-image multiplier.A converter matrix is described for converting gamma-rays to electrons comprising a metal plate emitting electrons upon being impinged by gamma-photons, the metal plate having a face formed with a plurality of spaced parallel surfaces which extend substantially parallel to the direction of the gamma-rays. Also described is a converter matrix of scintillation crystals, one face of each crystal including a photo-sensitive coating, the opposite face of each crystal being clear, the remaining faces of each crystal being coated with a light-reflecting coating.
