Fig. 8From: Design and implementation of a prototype head and neck phantom for the performance evaluation of gamma imaging systems Left-hand side: planar HGC gamma images of the simulated thyroid gland at a 120Â mm collimator-to-surface distance acquired with different acquisition times ranging from 100 to 400Â s using both pinhole collimators (0.5 and 1.0Â mm diameter). Right-hand side: count profiles plot for the data acquired from anterior gamma images for the simulated thyroid gland (400Â s) using 0.5 and 1.0Â mm diameter pinhole collimators. The yellow line in both thyroid gamma images (400Â s) represents the cross-section area of the acquired data for both count profilesBack to article page
