A reconfigurable collimated radiation detector, system and related method
includes at least one collimated radiation detector. The detector has an
adjustable collimator assembly including at least one feature, such as a
fin, optically coupled thereto. Adjustments to the adjustable collimator
selects particular directions of travel of scattered radiation emitted
from an irradiated object which reach the detector. The collimated
detector is preferably a collimated detector array, where the collimators
are independently adjustable. The independent motion capability provides
the capability to focus the image by selection of the desired scatter
field components. When an array of reconfigurable collimated detectors is
provided, separate image data can be obtained from each of the detectors
and the respective images cross-correlated and combined to form an
enhanced image.
