Description

All single photon imaging systems in nuclear medicine use mechanical collimation to form an image of the radioisotope distribution on the face of the gamma camera. These collimators impose a hard physical constraint that couples detector sensitivity and spatial resolution. To overcome the sensitivity-resolution trade off, a great deal of effort has been put forth to develop electronically-collimated or 'Compton' cameras which have the potential for dramatic improvement in sensitivity without sacrificing spatial resolution.
