Abstract
We present a simple 3D event position-estimation method using raw list-mode acquisition and maximum-likelihood estimation in a modular gamma camera with a thick (25mm) monolithic scintillation crystal. This method involves measuring 2D calibration scans with a well-collimated 511 keV source and fitting each point to a simple depth-dependent light distribution model. Preliminary results show that angled collimated beams appear properly reconstructed.Keywords: Depth of interaction (DOI); Emission tomography; PET; SPECT; gamma camera; gamma ray; maximum likelihood; monolithic scintillation crystal
