Abstract
An apparatus for generating gamma transmission and gamma emission images simultaneously including two emission cameras disposed on opposite sides of an imaging area so as to oppose each other, a gamma line transmission source and a line detector positioned between the two emission cameras on opposite sides of the imaging area, at least one of the source or line detector being movable along a path that substantially traverses the distance between the two emission cameras. The two emission cameras, line source and line detector are all secured to the same gantry for rotation about the imaging area so that transmission and emission images can be generated simultaneously.
