42259
Multi-hole nuclear medicine system collimator, high-energy (A device designed specifically for use in gamma camera or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) based planar positron imaging applications operating with an energy range above 500 kilo-electronvolt (keV). It consists of an array of small openings drilled or cast into a flat sheet or plate of lead or lead-equivalent materials. Its size and shape is intended to conform to the crystal shape of a nuclear medicine imaging system to ensure that only gamma ray activity directly in front of the collimator channels in the array reaches the scintillation. It has attachment mechanisms that enable it to be safely transported, removed from, and attached to the detector head of the system.)
