Abstract
The disclosure relates to devices for medical imaging by gamma rays. In a device where a gamma camera is suspended from a supporting frame by a rotating stand, an arm and two pins enabling two movements of rotation of the detector head of the gamma camera with respect to the rotating stand, there is provided a stirrup connected to the arm by a third pin enabling a third rotational movement about this gamma camera. It makes it possible to facilitate the relative movement of the gamma camera and of the patient undergoing the examination.
