Abstract
The present invention relates to a multisection imaging device incorporating a source (10) of ionizing radiation (11) and an array of semiconductor detectors (12) able to receive said radiation (11) having traversed a means (14), in which the semiconductor detectors are bidimensional detectors associated with one another in order to obtain several detection rings able to rotate about said means (14), so as to permit the simultaneous acquisition of several imaging sections.
