The term scintillation means

• to emit light
• to complete light
• to remove light
• light

Considered to be the most commonly used type of nuclear radiation detector.

• Scintillation Detectors
• The Rectilinear Scanner
• Gamma Cameras
• Mobile gamma cameras

Due to its high sensitivity, it is particularly used for detecting low levels of activity.

• The Rectilinear Scanner

• Mobile gamma cameras
• Stationary gamma cameras

can be either stationary or mobile.
