Compton cameras use the kinematics of Compton scattering to construct a source image
without the use of collimators or masks. Compton telescopes were first built in the 1970s for …

With the recent advances in position sensing detectors, a compact, multiple layered,
Compton scattering gamma ray imaging camera has been investigated for technological …

Due to advances in manufacturing large and highly segmented HPGe detectors along with
the availability of fast and high-precision digital electronics, it is now possible to build …

We are developing a rugged and person-transportable Compton gamma imager for use in
security investigations of radioactive materials, and for radiological incident remediation …

The characteristics of a new ring Compton scatter camera are described. This camera is
designed to image medium energy (0.5 to 3 MeV) gamma-ray fields. It consists of two …

Electronically collimated gamma cameras based on Compton scattering are gaining
increased attention as the associated hardware and physical principles are further …

The history of Compton cameras began with the detection of radiation sources originally for
applications in astronomy. A Compton camera is a promising γ-ray detector that operates in …

This chapter discusses the present status of Compton imaging in the nuclear medicine
application. Following a brief history of the technique, this chapter reviews the physical …

Compton cameras have been developed for use in gamma-ray astronomy and nuclear
medicine. Their defining merit is that they do not need collimators; however, on the demerit …

We report on the development of high-sensitivity and compact Compton imaging systems
built of large and position-sensitive Si (Li) and HPGe detectors. The primary goal of this effort …
