One of them combines PET technology with Compton Cameras. This paper presents the idea of the so called "PET-Compton" systems and has included comparative evaluation of spatial resolution and global efficiency in both PET and PET-Compton system by means of Monte Carlo simulations using Geant4 code. Simulation was done on a PET-Compton system made-up of LYSO-LuYAP scintillating detectors of particular small animal PET scanner named "Clear-PET" and for Compton detectors based on CdZnTe semiconductor. A group of radionuclides that emits a positron () and quantum almost simultaneously and fulfills some selection criteria for their possible use in PET-Compton systems for medical and biological applications were studied under simulation conditions. By means of analytica...
