Abstract

Compton cameras have the potential to become a novel imaging modality in nuclear medicine. One of the key issues in the medical application of Compton camera is the lack of performance measurement methods. In the case of SPECT and PET, there are standard performance measurement methods that are utilized in research and development of new imaging systems. Defining the standard performance measurement methods may facilitate research and development of a clinical Compton camera. We have organized an interdisciplinary research group and work towards developing performance measurement methods for medical Compton cameras. This report overviews this work.
