Abstract

A computer-based gamma-ray imaging system has been developed for use with rectilinear scanners. It has been designed as a stand-alone system for the small nuclear medicine clinic. Completely processed images are produced in a time short compared with scanning times. The process for correction of gamma-ray scattering in the patient and penetration of gamma rays through the collimator septa produces marked improvement in the images.
