The present invention provides an improved gamma ray detector module and a
method of operating such a detector module for more accurately
determining the position of a gamma ray interaction within the detector.
The detector module includes an induction array arranged at an offset
angle relative other arrays utilized in the detector, whereby the
relative timing of the detection of ionization electrons by the induction
array and a collector or anode indicate at least one coordinate
corresponding to the location of the interaction that produced the
ionization electron. This secondary locating apparatus and method
supplements or replaces conventional locating apparatus and methods for
improving the accuracy or reducing the complexity of the detection
apparatus.
