This invention presents a new device to produce images of the gamma field, specially designed for circumstances requiring high efficiency and fast response imaging, by applying the concept of image extraction within a given field of view, through the combination of efficient gamma radiation detectors. Each detector is located inside a shielding, with an area of the detector with no shielding to enter the incident gamma radiation detector with a plurality of angles in relation to the normal outgoing central axis to the surface of the detector through the unshielded area, where that central axis is divergent in relation to the outgoing central axes of neighboring detectors.
A device for gamma imaging of radiation fields, designed to operate in open spaces and enclosures without special shielding conditions from gamma radiation, wherein said device uses a plurality of gamma detectors, where each gamma detector is covered by an exterior shielding close to the detector, with the exception of part of a surface of the detector which has no shielding, where radiation can enter with a plurality of angles of incidence in relation to the normal outside direction located in the center of the unshielded surface of the detector, where the orientation of the outside norm is divergent as compared to the normal outside direction of the unshielded surfaces of neighboring detectors.
