Abstract

A nuclear medicine imaging system that includes a plurality of detectors (20) arranged about an imaging region (30). A transmission source (50) can be provided opposite the detectors and rotating about the imaging region to obtain different imaging angles. The nuclear imaging system provides for the ability to acquire high sensitivity transmission data with high emission data spatial resolution.
