Abstract
The medical gamma probe for radionuclide diagnostics based on LaBr3:Ce scintillation crystal and a silicon photomultiplier is described. Spectrometric characteristics of the detector are studied. The energy resolution is measured to be 3.6%at 662 keV and 10% at 140.5 keV. Technical parameters of the developed gamma probe are described. It is shown that it matches the best world analogues in the set of characteristics.
