The invention relates to a
gamma ray source identification and imaging instrument and a
gamma ray imaging
system, and belongs to the technical field of
nuclear radiation detection and imaging. The
gamma ray source identification and imaging instrument comprises a shell and a gamma
detector module arranged in the shell, wherein the gamma
detector module comprises a scattering
detector and an absorption detector which are sequentially arranged along a preset direction; each of the scattering detector and the absorption detector comprises a
crystal array and a photoelectric
detector array; and the gamma
ray source identification and imaging instrument is configured to transmit a
radiation detection
signal obtained by the gamma detector module to the upper computer so as to display a
radiation energy spectrum and a
radiation image. According to the gamma
ray source identification and imaging instrument, collimation of the gamma
ray direction can be achieved without a heavy mechanical
collimator, the gamma ray source identification and imaging instrument has the gamma ray source
nuclide identification and space positioning capacity, high-sensitivity imaging can be achieved, and the gamma ray source identification and imaging instrument has the advantages of being compact, small, exquisite and portable.
