Effect of the time characteristics of the Compton camera on its performance
(Springer, 2011)Purpose: The effect of the time characteristics of the Compton camera data acquisition (DAQ) system on the camera’s performance has been studied. Methods: The GEANT4 simulation software was used to simulate radiation ... -
Effects of energy threshold and dead time on Compton camera performance
(Elsevier BV, 2011)We study the effects of energy threshold and dead time on the sensitivity and image resolution of the Compton camera. The simulation model includes the decay times, detection time jitters, energy threshold and detector ... -
Evaluation of detector material and radiation source position on Compton camera’s ability for multitracer imaging
(Springer, 2012)We present a study on the effects of detector material, radionuclide source and source position on the Compton camera aimed at realistic characterization of the camera's performance in multitracer imaging as it relates to ... -
Evaluation of two Compton camera models for scintimammography
(Elsevier, 2011)We study the performance of a Si/LaBr3:Ce Compton camera model for scintimammography, and compare it with a Si/NaI(Tl) model of similar geometry. The GEANT4 simulation toolkit was used to study the behaviour of the cameras ... -
GEANT4 simulation of the effects of Doppler energy broadening in Compton imaging
(Springer, 2011)A Monte Carlo approach was used to study the effects of Doppler energy broadening on Compton camera performance. The GEANT4 simulation toolkit was used to model the radiation transport and interactions with matter in a ...
