Gamma-chambers are widely used in medicine diagnostics to obtain an organ image investigated by means of the scintigraphy method. A radionuclide Tc-99m which is accumulated in the organ and irradiates photons with the energy Eγ=140 keV is a carrier of the information. Ukraine manufactures gamma-cham...
