Abstract :
A Compton camera consisting of two segmented Ge detectors is proposed for multi-tracer research. The basic parameters affecting its spatial resolution are described. Monte Carlo simulations were performed to optimize its detector system. Its suitability for multi-tracer technology was demonstrated by a test experiment
