A new gamma camera dedicated to scintimammography (single photon emission mammography-SPEM) now has a full-breast field of view. One can clinically examine a mildly compressed breast with a cranio-caudal-like projection as one would in X-ray mammography. This camera is based on pixelated scintillation arrays and position sensitive photomultiplier tubes. By reducing the collimator-tumor distance, we enhanced the geometric spatial resolution and the contrast. Unfortunately, due to the low counting rates in scintimammography, low contrast images are usually seen, particularly with small tumors.The aim of this paper is to evaluate how a camera, based on a pixelated detector, can improve the SNR values for small tumors by effectively correcting ...
