MC simulations are a useful tool in the development of new imaging devices, as well as in the assessment of new reconstruction methods.

Abstract

This work used Monte Carlo (MC) simulations in order to investigate the feasibility of the application of a super-resolution method, namely Super Spatial Resolution (SSR), to a preclinical SPECT system. The SSR method is used to obtain a resolution enhancement by combining several images containing slightly different perspectives of the same scene.
