Abstract
A gamma vector camera detects and determines the energy and the direction of an incident gamma ray. The gamma vector camera includes a detector that produces scintillation light upon interaction with the incident gamma ray. A sensor records the locations and the intensities of the scintillation light produced in the detector. A processor determines the energy and the direction of the incident gamma ray based on the locations and the intensities of the scintillation light recorded by the sensor.
