ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Emission computed tomograph wherein a plurality of circular arrays of radiation detectors are arranged circumferentially about and axially of a patient to be examined, with a collimator ring rotatably supported and interposed between the radiation detectors and the patient, so that the radiation emitted by a radionuclide previously introduced into the patient causes some of the radiation detectors to produce corresponding outputs, from which the position of the radionuclide within the patient's body in both the circum- ferential and axial directions thereof is calculated thereby to reconstruct a tomographic image of the body at a desired transverse plane or slice thereof or a three-dimensional image of a desired portion thereof. - 14 -
