Cd1-xZnxTe detector imaging array
1993
A prototype portable gamma ray camera using 32 X 32 channels was developed. An experimental 3 X 3 sub-array of 5 mm X 5 mm CZT detectors was fabricated for use in system checkout and to investigate the applicability of CZT imaging arrays to nuclear medical imaging. Experiments were carried out to make a direct comparison of the imaging capabilities of the CZT sub-array with a state-of-the-art Anger camera. In a linespread study using a Tc-99m source embedded in a tissue equivalent absorber, contrasts of 9.5 for the CZT array and 3.4 for the Anger camera were observed. In a dynamic imaging experiment, the CZT imager appeared to have comparable resolution to and be somewhat more regular than the Anger camera.
