A pinhole gamma camera with optical depth-of-interaction elimination.
The performance of pinhole single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) depends on the spatial resolution of the gamma-ray detectors used. Pinhole cameras suffer from strong resolution loss due to the varying depth-of-interaction (DOI) of gamma quanta that enter the detector material at an angle. We eliminate DOI effects in a scintillation gamma camera via a dedicated optic fiber bundle t...
متن کاملA Pinhole Camera for Spear 2
A new pinhole camera system has been installed on Spear 2 to measure its vertical emittance. The hard X-rays from a bending magnet source point are imaged on a phosphor screen through a 30 um x 25 um pinhole aperture. The resolution of the system for 8 keV photons is limited to 31.2 um by Fraunhoffer diffraction and is much smaller than the 340 um FWHM vertical beam size corresponding to 0.9% v...
متن کاملPositron tomography of breast cancer in a community hospital: A case study of advanced disease using a coincidence gamma camera
Until recently PET scanning has been available only at major universities or teaching hospitals possessing the necessary resources and expertise to operate a research PET facility. Most dedicated PET centers cost several millions of dollars, and include a cyclotron, a radiochemistry laboratory to synthesize PET radiopharmaceuticals, a multicrystal dedicated PET camera, advanced computer f...
متن کاملDepth estimation and camera calibration of a focused plenoptic camera for visual odometry
This paper presents new and improved methods of depth estimation and camera calibration for visual odometry with a focused plenoptic camera. For depth estimation we adapt an algorithm previously used in structure-from-motion approaches to work with images of a focused plenoptic camera. In the raw image of a plenoptic camera, scene patches are recorded in several micro-images under slightly diff...
