We present a new concept for a medical imaging system, the Hybrid Mini Gamma Camera (HMGC). This combines an optical and a gamma-ray camera in a co-aligned configuration that offers high spatial resolution multi-modality imaging for superimposition of a scintigraphic image on an optical image. This configuration provides visual identification of the sites of localisation of radioactivity that would be especially suited to medical imaging. An extension of the new concept using two hybrid cameras (The StereoScope) offers the potential for stereoscopic imaging with depth estimation for a gamma emitting source.
