  • Title: Converging collimation and a large-field-of-view scintillation camera.
    Author: Murphy PH, Burdine JA, Moyer RA.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1975 Dec; 16(12):1152-7. PubMed ID: 1194967.
    Abstract:
    Three low-energy multihole converging collimators were evaluated in reference to accepted imaging parameters using a prototype large-field-of-view scintillation camera. A substantial improvement in resolution and/or sensitivity with depth was observed. Because of the large detector, the inherent reduction in field size due to convergence was not detrimental to satisfactory imaging of most target volumes. Such collimation should prove to be of significant clinical value.
