The coincidence detection of cascade gamma rays provides several advantages in gamma-ray imaging. In this review article, three applications of the double photon coincidence method are reviewed. Double-photon emission imaging with mechanical collimators and Compton double-photon emission imaging can identify radioactive source positions with their angular-resolving detectors, and reduce the crosstalk between nuclides. In addition, a novel method of coincidence Compton imaging is proposed by taking coincidence detection between a Compton event and a photopeak events. Although this type of coincidence Compton imaging cannot specify the location, it can be useful in multi-nuclide Compton imaging.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2478\/bioal-2022-0080","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,24]],"date-time":"2022-12-24T14:17:50Z","timestamp":1671891470000},"page":"120-126","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["A double photon coincidence detection method for medical gamma-ray imaging"],"prefix":"10.5604","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Mizuki","family":"Uenomachi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit of Synergetic Studies for Space, Center for the Promotion of Interdisciplinary Education and Research , Kyoto University , Kitashirakawaoiwakecho, Sakyo-ku , Kyoto , Japan .
