Compact Gamma Camera System for Breast Cancer Imaging

Abstract

The goal of this project is the development of a compact solid-state gamma camera specifically designed to image metabolically active tumors in the breast and axillary nodes with the highest possible detection efficiency and spatial resolution. The compact design also allows for a larger number of oblique views and reduces cost, which will make the instrument more widely available to the medical community.
