Testing Performance of the Improved Pinhole Collimator and Its Application to Small Animals
Testing performance of the improved pinhole collimator of 1.5 mm aperture attached to the gamma camera was carried out with three kinds of radionuclides, 99mTc, 67Gaand131I, using a hand-made phantom.

Summary: | Testing performance of the improved pinhole collimator of 1.5 mm aperture attached to the gamma camera was carried out with three kinds of radionuclides, 99mTc, 67Gaand131I, using a hand-made phantom. The results obtained in this experiment were compared to those obtained with a human pinhole collimator of 4 mm aperture. Those were nearly understood by taking account of the effective aperture of a pinhole collimator for each effective photon energy. And all scintigrams obtained from rats with various scintigraphy showed high resolution images. |
