Imaging of < sup > 99m < /sup > Tc-DMSA and < sup > 18 < /sup > F-FDG in humans using a Si/CdTe Compton camera.

Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, for the first time, the current study demonstrates first time that the Si/CdTe Compton camera is capable of simultaneously imaging the distributions of two radiopharmaceuticals, 99mTc-DMSA and 18F-FDG, in a human body. These results suggest that the Si/CdTe Compton camera has the potential to become a novel modality for nuclear medical diagnoses enabling multi-probe simultaneous tracking.&amp;#13; &amp;#13.
