Abstract
This note derives several expressions for the geometric efficiency of a rotating collimator, comprising a set of parallel slits, for a gamma camera. These expressions represent approximate analytic formulae und er specific geometric conditions for which an algebraic analysis can b e made. The expressions are limiting cases and have been validated by numerical computation for some specific cases.
