A single photon emission computed tomography system includes a base for
supporting a patient and a detector assembly adjacent the field of view.
The detector assembly detects photon strikes from the field of view. A
photon-blocking member is disposed between the field of view and the
detector and has an aperture slot that allows passage of photons aligned
with the slot. A collimating assembly includes a plurality of collimating
vanes formed of photon-attenuating material. A support assembly supports
the collimating assembly and includes a first support member and a second
support member with the collimating assembly being disposed therebetween.
An adjustment assembly includes a first adjuster operable to adjust a
first distance between the collimating assembly and the first support
member and a second adjuster operable to adjust a second distance between
the collimating assembly and the second support member.
