Gamma-Ray Imaging

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Imaging with Electromagnetic Spectrum

Abstract

The gamma rays are the region in the electromagnetic spectrum with the highest energy and the shortest wavelength. It is difficult to observe the wave properties of the gamma rays as their wavelength is extremely shorter.
