| Research Abstract |
In field of molecular imaging, a new imaging method which allows tracking of multiple radiopharmaceuticals injected into a body is desirable. Experimental studies by using a Si/CdTe semiconductor Compton camera originally developed for ASTRO-H satellite mission were conducted. Accumulations of two radiopharmaceuticals injected into a living mouse were successfully imaged, meaning that the Si/CdTe Compton camera is a promising system for innovative molecular imaging.
