A device () for use in imaging a subject using both light and gamma rays emanating from the subject, the device including: a first sensor means () responsive to light received thereby from the subject to generate first signals () for use in forming a first image () of the subject; a second sensor means () responsive to gamma rays received thereby from the subject to generate second signals () for use in forming a second image () of the subject and arranged to receive gamma rays from the subject which have passed from the subject through the first sensor means before reaching the second sensor means.

Imaging device and method

There is disclosed a device for imaging radionuclide emissions comprising: a charge coupled device or CMOS active pixel sensor device; and a scintillator layer in direct contact with the charge coupled device or CMOS active pixel sensor device; in which the thickness of the scintillator layer is greater than 200 &#x3bc;m, preferably greater than 400 &#x3bc;m, most preferably about 500 &#x3bc;m.
