Measurements were made on the tomographic imaging abilities of a rotating slant hole collimator and a rotating scintillation camera system using a standard heart phantom and thallium-201. This allowed a comparison to be made between these and published results for conventional imaging and the seven pinhole technique under standardised conditions. Although better intraplanar resolutions were obtained with the rotating slant hole, the rotating camera was found to give superior definition of a defect and less propagation between reconstructed sections of the phantom.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
