Summary

Tomographic imaging with radionuclides commonly used in nuclear medicine, such as <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">111</sup> In (171 and 245 keV) and <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">131</sup> I (364 keV), is in high demand for medical applications and small animal imaging. The Si/CdTe Compton camera with its high angular and high energy resolutions is an especially promising detector to extend the energy coverage for imaging to the range that covers gamma ray emitted from these radionuclides. Here, we take the first steps toward short-distance imaging by conducting experiments using 3-D phantoms composed of multiple sphere-like solutions of <sup xmlns:mml="http://www
