Radiation Dose and Imaging

The imaging capabilities of the germanium camera, (high spatial resolution and scatter rejection) combined with processing to recover loss of resolution at depth, have resulted in single-photon emission tomography with significant improvement in spatial resolution when campared to devices based on conventional technology. Multiple radionulides can be imaged, and spatial resolution of 2-4 mm at depth can be realized.
