Abstract
We present a novel SPECT imaging technique for small animal research based on multi-pinhole collimation. This new method is an extension of single-pinhole tomography and combines high-resolution with increased system sensitivity. This paper describes the multi-pinhole imaging system and its characterization on simulated and measured phantom data.
