A Simulation Study for Optimal Pinhole Collimator Design in Gamma Camera Systems [PDF]
Background: The usage of a semiconductor detector with a pinhole collimator can provide high spatial resolution due to its high intrinsic resolution. However, the collimator system has low sensitivity due to the hole’s small diameter.

Geometric Sensitivity of a Pinhole Collimator [PDF]
Geometric sensitivity for single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) is given by a double integral over the detection plane. It would be useful to be able to explicitly evaluate this quantity.

Performance Assessment of a Channel Multi-Pinhole Collimator for Myocardial Perfusion Imaging with SPECT: A Monte Carlo Simulation [PDF]
While the conventional parallel-hole collimators are widely used in myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with SPECT, they are suboptimal in balancing the existing sensitivity-resolution compromise.
