Abstract :
Compton Camera has a potential for nuclear medicine. Because energy dynamic range and field of view is wide. Electron Tracking Compton Camera (ETCC) which we have developed consists of two detectors micro Time Projection Chamber (μTPC) and Pixel Scintillator Array (PSA). We have developed two type of ETCC small and large, and we have evaluated these cameras and have imaged phantom and small animal.
