Abstract
The micro-SPECT system with 2.5 mm spatial resolution, for a field of view of 57 × 57 mm, is presented, the results of tomographic reconstruction of calibration phantoms with Tc-99m solution are demonstrated. A description of the phantoms design that can be used to assess the quality of the SPECT system with a small field of view is given.
Supporting agencies: This research was carried out with the support of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and SITMA, within the framework of project No. 18-52-34005
