Modeling and Reconstruction Strategy for Compton Scattering Tomography with Scintillation Crystals

The recent development of energy-resolved scintillation crystals opens the way to build novel imaging concepts based on the variable energy. Among them, Compton scattering tomography (CST) is one of the most ambitious concepts. Akin to Computerized Tomography (CT), it consists in probing the attenuation map of an object of interest using external ionizing sources but strives to exploit the scattered radiation as an imaging agent. For medical...
