Abstract
A radioactive ray detecting endoscope comprises an elongated insertable part having an observing window in the tip part, an imaging apparatus converting an image of an observed part obtained through the observing window to an electric signal and a radioactive ray detecting apparatus detecting radioactive rays from inside the visual field of the imaging apparatus. The imaging apparatus has, for example, a solid state imaging device imaging an optical image of an object. Also, a collimator regulating the radioactive ray detecting direction is provided, for example, around the radioactive ray detecting apparatus.
