Gamma Camera Tungsten Parallel Collimator

Gamma camera tungsten parallelcollimator is a thick plate of tungsten riddled with a large number of very thin parallel channels. The gamma rays which can pass through it are those whose direction is perpendicular to the surface of the tungsten plate and the scintillating crystal. The channel axes point towards the body part under examination, and the tungsten stops all gamma photons traveling at an oblique angle. Other collimators can be designed using different techniques: a pinhole collimator is used for thyroid scintigraphy scans, whereas fan-shaped collimators are used for imaging of the brain.
