Abstract

A 3D CdZnTe detector can provide 3D position information as well as energy information of each individual interaction when a gamma ray is scattered or absorbed in the detector. This unique feature provides the 3D CdZnTe detector the capability to do Compton imaging with a single detector. After detector calibration, real-time data acquisition and imaging are implemented with a single detector system. Because the detector has a finite size and any point in the detector can be the first scattering position, 3D gamma-ray imaging in near field is possible. In this work we will show the result of the 4π Compton imaging with a single 15mm × 15mm × 10mm CdZnTe detector. Different algorithms for sequence and imaging reconstruction will be addressed and compared. The angular uncertainty is estimated and the most recent results from measurements are presented.
