Evaluation of a Multi-pinhole Collimator for Imaging Small Animals with Different Sizes
Abstract
PurposeOur goal was to evaluate a multi-pinhole (MPH) collimator which allows changing configurations for mouse imaging and rat imaging.ProceduresThe collimator length can be adjusted from 5 cm for rat imaging to a maximum of 8 cm for mouse imaging. Projections of mouse- and rat-size phantoms were simulated with collimator length of 8 cm, and the rat-size phantom was additionally simulated with collimator length of 5 cm. Bias and noise were …
