APPARATUS FOR DETECTING, LOCALIZING, AND IMAGING OF RADIATION IN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS ABSTRACT Collimating probes (10, 20, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500) and probes (720 and 1100) and associated collimators (800, 900 and 1000) for detecting, localizing, and mapping or imaging radiation emanating from a hidden source, such as within the body of a living being. One continuously adjustable collimating probe (10) comprises a radiation detector (26) and an adjustment mechanism (30) for continuously adjusting the solid angle which radiation may pass to the detector. A receptacle (600) is also provided to hold a specimen on that probe. Non-adjustable probes (720 and 1100) adapted to be used with separate, readily securable, collimators (800, 900 and 1000) are also provided. When any such collimator is used on the probe it enables the adjustment of the probe's solid angle of acceptance in at least one discrete increment.
Des sondes collimatrices (10, 20, 100, 200, 300, 400 et 500) et des sondes (720 et 1100) associées à des collimateurs (800, 900 et 1000) servent à détecter, à localiser et à tracer ou mettre en images des rayonnements émanant d'une source cachée, par exemple située dans le corps d'un être vivant. Une sonde collimatrice ajustable en continu (10) comprend un détecteur de rayonnements (26) et un mécanisme d'ajustement en continu (30) de l'angle solide que les rayonnements peuvent traverser jusqu'au détecteur. Un récipient (600) soutient un spécimen sur la sonde. Des sondes non ajustables (720 et 1100) sont utilisées avec des collimateurs (800, 900 et 1000) séparés faciles à assujettir. Lorsque l'on utilise un tel collimateur avec la sonde, on peut ajuster l'angle solide d'acceptation de la sonde d'au moins un incrément discret.
