A radiation detection/imaging system includes a first set of radiation detectors spaced from each other in a first direction and a second set of radiation detectors spaced from each other in the first direction. The second set of radiation detectors is positioned laterally adjacent the first set of radiation detectors and the radiation detectors of the first and second sets of radiation detectors are arranged in an alternating or staggered pattern in the first direction. A composite image can be formed of the passage of radiation through an object acquired by the first and second sets of radiation detectors as the object is translated by the first and second sets of radiation detectors.

Staggered array imaging system using pixilated radiation detectors

A gamma ray camera A includes a crystal array S which includes a plurality of pixelseach of which outputs a pixel signal in response to receiving a gamma ray. A first circuit (and) outputs for each pixelof the crystal array S, when a pixel signal output by the pixelhas a predetermined relation to a reference signal, a threshold signal related to the position of the pixelin the crystal array S. A second circuit (and) outputs a counter value for each pixel signal having a predetermined relation to its threshold signal. Lastly, a third circuitaccumulates for each pixelof the crystal array S a count of the counter values output by the second circuit (and) for the pixel
