Detector module of a single photon compact ring tomograph for high resolution breast imaging

The initial characterization results of detector modules allow one to foresee that the single photon compact ring tomograph for high resolution breast imaging can be a promising technique as well as having the exciting potential to make a real contribution to the field of breast imaging. This project is a part of larger research project including simultaneous transmission and emission tomography. Finally, this tomographic system can have a relevance which extends beyond the field of breast imaging to other areas of nuclear medicine imaging as well as the more general scope of nuclear radiation detection.
