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 collim...
