| Research Abstract |
We have been investigated usability of a γ-ray lens, which is spread owing to recent progress of crystal forming technology, for medical imaging. From a simulation result, sub-millimeter position resolution in γ-ray imaging is achievable using γ-ray lens based on Bragg diffraction. However, for the imaging system using this type of lens, we need a long imaging duration such as a few hours. A next-generation γ-ray lens based on Delbruck diffraction might realize a shortening of imaging duration.
