Patent ID: 7939807

Claim:
A scintigraphic device comprising: a collimator ( 10 ) for receiving and selecting the electromagnetic radiation (R) from a predetermined source (S); a scintillation structure ( 20 ) associated with the collimator ( 10 ) for receiving said electromagnetic radiation (R) from said collimator ( 10 ) and converting it into visible radiation (V); an electro-optical converter ( 30 ) associated with said scintillation structure ( 20 ) for receiving said visible radiation (V) and converting it into electric signals (E); a processing unit ( 40 ) connected to said electro-optical converter ( 30 ) for receiving said electric signals (E) and rebuilding, as a function of said electric signals (E), images of said predetermined source (S); an actuating system ( 50 ) for mutually moving said predetermined source (S) and at least said collimator ( 10 ), to enable said collimator ( 10 ) to detect said electromagnetic radiation (R) at different mutual positioning locations of said predetermined source (S) and said collimator ( 10 ), said processing unit ( 40 ) being adapted to rebuild a plurality of auxiliary images (I 1 -I 4 ) representative of said predetermined source (S), each auxiliary image (I 1 -I 4 ) corresponding to a respective mutual positioning of said predetermined source (S) and said collimator ( 10 ), said processing unit ( 40 ) being adapted to generate a final image (I) as a function of said auxiliary images (I 1 -I 4 ), wherein said final image (I) has a spatial resolution the numeric value of which is smaller than the spatial resolution of said auxiliary images (I 1 -I 4 ).
