Abstract
The present invention relates to a gamma radiation detection device (1). The gamma radiation detection device (1) comprises a scintillator element (2) and an optical detector (3) in optical communication with the scintillator element (2). A plurality of particles or voids (5) are dispersed in the scintillator element (2) which scatter the scintillation light (7), reducing the trapping of scintillation light (7) by multiple reflections.
