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 …

In Compton cameras, the measured scattering angle is associated with an uncertainty which
becomes larger as the incident gamma-ray energy decreases. Since this uncertainty …

Compton imaging is a gamma-ray imaging technique useful for photons with energies in the
range of a hundred keV to several MeV. Measuring gamma rays with a Compton camera …

The Compton camera is used for imaging the distributions of γ ray direction in a γ ray
telescope for astrophysics and for imaging radioisotope distributions in nuclear medicine …

In recent years, more and more detector systems utilizing Compton scattering effect to detect
gamma rays have been developed due to their potential for improved image sensitivity …

The Compton scattering camera (sometimes called the electronically collimated camera)
has been shown by others to have the potential to better the photon counting statistics and …

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 …

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 …

Compton cameras promise to improve the characteristics of nuclear medicine imaging,
wherein mechanical collimation is replaced with electronic collimation. This leads to huge …

Compton imaging exploits inelastic scattering, known as Compton scattering, using a
Compton camera consisting of a scatterer detector in the front layer and an absorber …
