Performance evaluation of MACACO II Compton camera
نویسندگان
چکیده
The IRIS group at IFIC-Valencia has developed a second version of Compton camera prototype for hadron therapy treatment monitoring, with the aim improving performance respect to its predecessor. system is composed three Lanthanum (III) bromide (LaBr3) crystals coupled silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs). detector energy resolution been improved 5.6% FWHM 511 keV and an angular 8.0° obtained. Images 22Na point-like source have reconstructed selecting two interaction events. Moreover, experimental data reproduced Monte Carlo simulations using module (CCMod) in GATE v8.2 obtaining good correlation.

Potential of a Compton camera for high performance scintimammography.
In this paper, we present a novel approach to scintimammography that is based on the Compton camera principle. We analyse the performance of our scheme using Monte Carlo simulations. In particular, we evaluate the detection efficiency, spatial resolution and lesion visibility of the system at several gamma photon energies. The simulation results show that the proposed technique achieves an abso...
متن کامل3D Image Reconstruction from Compton camera data
In this paper, we address analytically and numerically the inversion of the integral transform (cone or Compton transform) that maps a function on R to its integrals over conical surfaces. It arises in a variety of imaging techniques, e.g. in astronomy, optical imaging, and homeland security imaging, especially when the so called Compton cameras are involved. Several inversion formulas are deve...
متن کاملDepth Camera Technology Comparison and Performance Evaluation
How good are cheap depth cameras, namely the Microsoft Kinect, compared to state of the art Time-ofFlight depth cameras? In this paper several depth cameras of different types were put to the test on a variety of tasks in order to judge their respective performance and to find out their weaknesses. We will concentrate on the common area of applications for which both types are specified, i.e. n...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Compton scattering camera using 3-D position sensitive CdZnTe detectors
A CZT Compton Camera (CCC) is being built using two three-dimensional (3-D) position-sensitive CZT detectors. Expected system performance was analyzed by analytical and Monte Carlo approaches. Based on the measurement of detector energy and position resolution, the expected angular resolution is &33 and &23 for a $303 FOV for 511 keV and 1 MeV c-rays, respectively. The intrinsic e$ciency for a ...
متن کاملPerformance of the Camera of the MAGIC II Telescope
MAGIC comprises two 17m diameter IACTs to be operated in stereo mode. Currently we are commissioning the second telescope, MAGIC II. The camera of the second telescope has been equipped with 1039 pixels of 0.1-degree diameter. Always seven pixels are grouped in a hexagonal configuration to form a cluster. This modular design allows easier control and maintenance of the camera. The pixel sensors...
