    • A method for optimizing the scanning trajectory of a radiation detector device, e.g., a SPECT scanning device, about an object generally includes: obtaining object image data using a different imaging modality, e.g., a CT scanning device, determining a maximum object boundary based on the image data, calculating an optimal scan trajectory of the SPECT scanning device relative to the object based on the maximum object boundary, scanning the object with the SPECT scanning device along the optimal scan trajectory to detect gamma photons emanating from the object, from which an image can be reconstructed from the detected gamma photons. Preferably, the SPECT device includes at least two detectors arranged at a pre-selected angle relative to one another and the optimal scan trajectory minimizes the distance between the detectors and the object while maximizing the geometric efficiency of the detectors relative to the object.

    • A fail-safe ball screw assembly has a double-start screw and a corresponding nut. The screw has a first helix with a truncated, smaller diameter flat and an intertwined second helix with an extended, larger diameter flat. Similarly, the corresponding nut has a first helix with an extended, larger diameter flat and an intertwined second helix with a truncated, smaller diameter flat. When the screw is inserted with the nut, the screw's truncated first helix is paired with the nut's extended first helix, and the screw's extended second helix is paired with the nut's truncated second helix. The nut and screw helixes combine to form channels in which bearings balls travel. The bearings allow the fail-safe ball screw assembly to operate with high efficiency and precision, while the overlapping structure of the helixes prevents catastrophic failure caused by the removal or loss of the bearing balls. In particular, the extended, larger diameter flats of second screw helix and the first nut helix interact, similar to commonly threaded screws, to prevent the unintended separation of the screw and nut. Another implementation of the present invention connects a torque sensor to the ball screw assembly to detect deterioration.

    • A non-circular-orbit detection method and apparatus is disclosed. In some embodiments, the method includes: locating first and second detectors, displaced with respect to one another, a distance from a patient; moving the first and second detectors in a direction towards the patient until a first sensor senses a first point of the patient at a first sensing position; moving the first and second detectors in a second direction from the first sensing position until a second sensor senses a second point of the patient at a second sensing position; and moving the first and second detectors in a non-circular-orbit around the patient. Preferably, the method includes determining the non-circular-orbit based on, among other things, locations of the first point and the second point.

    • A system and tuning method to collaboratively calibrate high voltage DAC values and Photomultiplier Tube DAC values of photomultiplier tubes of a gamma camera so that the detector produces a valid energy spectrum over the entire detector surface. A method for tuning a gamma camera having a plurality of photosensors, exposes the photosensors to scintillation photons corresponding to nuclear radiation of known energy; measures an energy output corresponding to each specific photosensor; calculates an average enemy output of all photosensors in the camera; collaboratively adjusts a DAC value corresponding to a voltage applied to a specific photosensor and a DACHV value corresponding to a high voltage applied to the camera based on the calculated average energy, energy output of each photosensor, and a target energy value corresponding to said known energy; and repeats the calibration until convergence is achieved between the average energy, energy output, and target energy.
