Abstract :
The Electron Tracking Compton Camera (ETCC) has the wide energy range. We upgrade the recoil electron tracking algorithm to improve the detection efficiency. The performance of ETCC is checked by using F-18 (FDG) which is used for PET imaging. We have developed the ETCC for new medical imaging device and succeeded in imaging the some imaging reagents. Thus, this detector has the possibility of new medical imaging.
