Use of a compact pixellated gamma camera for small animal pinhole SPECT imaging.
OBJECTIVES Pinhole SPECT which permits in vivo high resolution 3D imaging of physiological functions in small animals facilitates objective assessment of pharmaceutical development and regenerative therapy in pre-clinical trials. For handiness and mobility, the miniature size of the SPECT system is useful. We developed a small animal SPECT system based on a compact high-resolution gamma camera ...
متن کاملA 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 کاملAn X-ray Pinhole Camera System for Diamond
In this paper we present the X-ray pinhole camera designed for the measurement of the size, the emittance and energy spread of the electron beam at Diamond. The system has been kept as simple as possible. The pinhole and the imaging system are in air, and the X-ray beam from the bending magnet is filtered out through an Al window. The beam is imaged using a fluorescent screen and an IEEE 1394 c...
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 کاملAn alternative mathematical modeling of the scintillation camera and framework for performance analysis of gamma-ray positioning algorithms
Introduction: Substantive amount of work has been done in modeling and analyzing the scintillation camera system processes including positioning and image formation. The goal of this work is to develop a framework for analyzing performance of nonlinear positioning methods upon construction of a mathematical model of the system. In this study, the photodetector array counts are ...
