    High-resolution single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was achieved using a novel converging-hole collimator. This SPECT system demonstrated improved resolution and sensitivity compared to traditional parallel-geometry SPECT.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Physics

    Background:

    • Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is crucial for in vivo imaging.
    • Improving SPECT resolution and sensitivity remains a key challenge in nuclear medicine.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a novel converging-hole collimator for high-resolution SPECT.
    • To compare the performance of this system against standard parallel-geometry SPECT.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a special-purpose converging-hole collimator with an IGE 400A gamma camera and STAR computer system.
    • Quantified the variation in line-spread function width and shape across the field of view.
    • Performed comparative analysis with parallel-geometry SPECT.
