DOIAbstract
The goal of the HICAM project, supported by the European Community, is the development of a new Anger camera for clinical and research environments and specific applications where high overall spatial resolution and system compactness are required. The camera is based on a matrix of Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs) coupled to a CsI(Tl) crystal. Two prototypes were developed during the project, with 5×5 cm2 and 10×10 cm2 FOV. They provide a high intrinsic spatial resolution (<1mm), an overall spatial resolution of ∼ 2.67 mm @ 4cm and appropriate sensitivity. The developed camera is compact, very versatile and has a potential to be employed in several imaging applications, for clinical studies on humans, for small organs imaging in adults and i...
