Focusing Collimators for Use with the Hard Gamma Emitters Rubidium-861 and Potassium-42

ABSTRACT

Five-and 8.5-inch thick, 6-hole collimators are described which are suitable for use with Rb86 and K42 respectively. The longer unit gives superior collimation and approximately twice the transmission of the shorter unit. The effective focus obtained in a Masonite phantom with paired opposing scintillation probes is reported.
