单光子发射计算机断层扫描（SPECT）是研究生理功能的既定方法。然而，新的伽马射线康普顿照相机系统，提供电子准直有可能大大提高这种技术的灵敏度。康普顿照相机已用于高能量应用，但尚未完全用于低能量的临床应用。本文描述了使用99mTc的ProSPECTus医学成像Compton相机系统的成像效率优化。降低图像质量的实验因素也将被评估和量化。
Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) is an established method of studying physiological functions. However, novel gamma-ray Compton camera systems which provide electronic collimation have the potential to greatly improve the sensitivity of this technique. Compton cameras have been employed in high energy applications but have not yet been fully implemented for clinical applications at low energies. This paper describes the optimization of imaging efficiency for the ProSPECTus medical imaging Compton camera system with 99mTc. Experimental factors which degrade the image quality will also be assessed and quantified.
