Abstract
A transverse radionuclide scan field imaging apparatus comprises a plurality of highly focused, closely laterally adjacent collimators inwardly focused in a rotatable array which surrounds a scan field, with each collimator being movable relative to its adjacent collimator. For each scan position, the focal point of each collimator uniformly samples at least one half of the scan field.
