A high pressure gaseous detector as a compton camera for nuclear medical imaging

We present the assembly and first measurements on a High Pressure gas scintillation Proportional Counter envisaging a Compton Camera for nuclear medical imaging. After introducing the concept, simulation results, setup, and assembly, the detector performance will be presented. Characterization of the Gaseous Proportional Scintillator (GSPC) counter, namely the number of produced photons and energy resolution according to the gas pressure and electric fields, by using a traditional PMT coupled to it is presented.
