Development and validation of a Monte Carlo simulation tool for multi-pinhole microSPECT

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) tool for investigation and evaluation of multi-pinhole microSPECT imaging. This simulation tool is based on a combination of SimSET and MCNP-4b Monte Carlo codes. It allows accurate simulation of a great range of physical factors, especially the pinhole collimator-detector response with specific photon energy, material, and geometry (such as knife and keel edge, …
