AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing gamma cameras suffer from low sensitivity due to overlap and multiplexing issues, leading to image noise and artifacts, and existing solutions either introduce truncation or have limited field of view (FOV).
Method used
A device with active partitions that act as collimators and detectors, preventing overlap by measuring gamma ray impact coordinates, ensuring high sensitivity and resolution without truncation, using dense materials like Pb or W to block overlapping paths and reflective surfaces to guide photons.
Benefits of technology
The device achieves high-resolution imaging with a large FOV by eliminating overlap and artifacts, maintaining high sensitivity and preventing image truncation, allowing accurate image reconstruction.
