Abstract
Device for locating nuclear radiation and radiation image formation device incorporating such a locating device. The locating device comprises a detection head having a crystal for converting a nuclear radiation into photons and a plurality of transducers for converting the photons into electric signals. These signals are received in a position coder, which has in series a weighting circuit for supplying analog signals X.sup.+, X.sup.-, Y.sup.- (and optionally Z), a digitizing device for digitizing the analog signals and a digital computer for producing digital signals X.sub.N, Y.sub.N defining the position of a nuclear radiation exciting the crystal.
