Scintillation camera control of a computer-guided manipulator for biomedical applications

In our previous studies we have presented a method to measure the detector-to-object distance using a tiltedcollimator (TC) technique. It exploits the shift of the imaged object in the image plane, obtained for tilted positions of a parallel-hole lead collimator. In this work we present the design and first test results of an instrument, which combines the localization of a small-size gamma-ray source with computer-guided precise object manipulation.
