摘要
We report on tests of a radionuclide imaging system for in vivo investigations in small animals with low energy gamma-rays as from I-125 (27-35 keV). The system imaging optics features a high resolution coded aperture mask and a fine pitch silicon hybrid pixel detector of the Medipix2 series (55 mu m pitch). The coded aperture (no-two-holes-touching MURA 62x62) had 70 pm holes in 75 pm tungsten, and was used in a 2:1 magnification for a Field of View of about 7 mm. Laboratory tests with a Cd-109 22-keV source and in vivo mouse thyroid imaging tests with I-125 show a system resolution of about 110 mu m. This low energy, semiconductor-based, compact gamma camera is the basic imaging unit of a small animal Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography system with deep sub-millimeter resolution.
