Abstract
A liquid interface scintillation camera for sensing radiation emitted from a source includes: a scintillation crystal for emitting light in response to radiation absorbed from the source; a photomultiplier array, responsive to the scintillation crystal, for producing an output in response to the emitted light; a sealed chamber in which a first side is defined by the photomultiplier array and a second side, opposite the first side, is defined by the scintillation crystal; and a liquid interface medium fills the chamber directly, optically coupling the photomultipliers and the scintillation crystal.
