Design of a dual-head multi-pinhole collimator for brain SPECT with improved axial sampling

Conclusions: We designed and simulated an MPH system for general brain SPECT imaging. In future work we will assess through simulations the performance of the selected designs for quantitative measures such as striatal binding ratio (SBR) for Parkinson’s Disease imaging and cortical to cerebellum ratio (CCR) in Tau imaging for Alzheimer’s Disease.
