Questions and Answers

What is the function of a collimator in nuclear medicine instrumentation?

  • To establish a geometric connection between the crystal's contact point and the patient's gamma ray emission. (correct)
  • To determine the direction of flight of gamma rays.
  • To discriminate between scattered and nonscattered photons.
  • To absorb gamma rays that are off-angle.
  • Which component of collimators determines the resolution and sensitivity of the detector?

  • Holes (correct)
