The Compton Camera - medical imaging with higher sensitivity: Exhibition LEPFest 2000

Created: 2000
Number of pages: 1 p

Note: Exhibition at the CERN LEP Celebration in October 2000

The Compton Camera reconstructs the origin of Compton-scattered X-rays using electronic collimation with Silicon pad detectors instead of the heavy conventional lead collimators in Anger cameras - reaching up to 200 times better sensitivity and a factor two improvement in resolution. Possible applications are in cancer diagnosis, neurology neurobiology, and cardiology.
