In addition to hotspot imaging already provided by commercial imaging systems, the identification of the variety of radioisotopes is realized thanks to the good energy resolution given by the semiconductor detectors. Three radioisotopes of Ba (356 keV),
Na (511 keV) and
Cs (662 keV) were individually imaged by applying event selection in the energy window and the
-ray images was correctly overlapped by an optical picture. The detection efficiency of 1.68
10
(effective area: 1.7
10
cm
) and angular resolution of 3.8
were obtained by stacking five detector modules for 662 keV
-ray. The higher detection efficiency required in a specific use can be achieved by stacking more detector modules.
