Dedicated γ-cameras based on pixelated scintillators have long been used for breast tumor
imaging. Intercrystal scattering (ICS) increases the background counting rate and degrades …

Dedicated gamma cameras based on Photodiodes coupled to pixellated small size
scintillators, is suitable for high resolution imaging such as small animal and breast cancer …

Due to the limitations of conventional gamma cameras for breast imaging, many researchers
are developing dedicated imagers for use in scintimammography that can be positioned …

The purpose of this study was to improve the performance of a small gamma camera,
utilizing a NaI (Tl) plate and a 5''position sensitive PMT. We attempted to build a NaI (Tl) …

The authors characterize a 3/spl times/4 element imaging array consisting of 3/spl
times/3/spl times/5 mm/sup 3/CsI (TI) scintillator crystals individually read out by 3/spl times/3 …

Recent years have witnessed the development of small field of view (FOV) nuclear medicine
cameras for applications requiring either high spatial resolution and/or compact camera …

Methods A multi-crystal NaI system (Dilon 6800), a multicrystal CsI system (Digirad 2020tc
Imager) and a prototype cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detector were evaluated using a …

Diverging collimators are used to obtain reduced images of an object or detect a wide field-
of-view (FOV) by using a small gamma camera. In gamma cameras equipped with diverging …

The relative resolution and sensitivity advantages of pinhole and parallel hole collimators for
planar scintimammography with compact, pixellated gamma detectors were investigated …

GATE is currently considered in scintigraphic imaging as a powerful tool to develop, design
and optimize nuclear medicine modalities. This paper describes the GATE simulation of a …
