La caméra à scintillations (...). Elle possède une tête de détection stationnaire de grande dimension. Le cristal de INa(TI) (...) permet à la caméra à scintillations d'étudier simultanément plusieurs points de la source radioactive située sous le détecteur. (...) Contrairement au scintigraphe, la caméra à scintillations se prête bien à l'étude des phénomènes rapides, soit par prise d'images successives (...), soit par l'étude de courbes de transit.
