Abstract
To increase the detection efficiency and improve the spatial resolution, a coded-aperture imaging method is applied to nuclear medicine. The aperture consists of nine pinholes arranged in a square grid. Three kinds of coding are sequentially used to record the same number of projections including parallax and overlap. The overlapped images are partially separated, and good tomograms of a ring phantom and a human myocardium are reconstructed using a modified backprojection algorithm with variable damping factor.
