PerkinsWe present a new concept for a portable environmental imaging system, the Compact Hybrid Gamma Camera (CHGC). This combines an optical and a gamma-photon camera in a co-aligned configuration that offers high spatial resolution multi-modality imaging for superposition of gamma ray and optical images. We report on its potential use for surveying, monitoring and clean-up of radioactive sources in the environment.
