SPECT imaging properties of the CdTe-Timepix3 detector used in a new prototype

The small animal imaging requires better spatial resolution compared to human imaging. The improvement on the detector side should be implemented because the currently used scintillation gamma cameras are now touching their limits. The main goal of this work aims on introduction of a new concept of our prototype system (FullSPECT 3D) and comparison of the performance of its hybrid semiconductor Timepix3 based detector, and standard scintillation gamma camera in a commercially available device (Albira Preclinical Imaging System) for SPECT imaging on phantom and animal model.
