Abstract
A nuclear medicine diagnostic imaging system wherein the gamma camera rotates about the patient and is coupled to receive electrical power, control signals and to transmit data using cableless coupling means. This enables the system to provide whole body helical scans. Reconstruction begins during the first revolution of the camera about the patient and continues during subsequent revolutions to provide evolving images.
