Abstract:
A scanner for scanning a body part of a human, such as, for example, a breast of a woman includes a supporting part for the upper body of a human, a receiving space for the body part to be scanned, possibly a compression device for pressing against the body part introduced into the receiving space, and a camera which is arranged to form an image of the body part introduced into the receiving space and pressed against by the compression device, with the aid of high-energy radiation emitted by the body part. The camera includes a collimator having a movable collimator part which has an incident surface facing towards the receiving space. The collimator defines and delimits an astigmatic, two-dimensional collection of radiation channels for the high-energy radiation.
