| dc.description.abstract | This thesis details the conceptualization and parameterization of a gaseous detector rasterizing pinhole gamma camera. In this thesis, there is a literature review that describes the historical development of gamma imaging, a technical background that aims to give the reader the prerequisite background knowledge, a methodology, and, a result and discussion chapter. The thesis includes studies that determine if the concept of a gaseous detector rasterizing pinhole gamma camera is feasible, mathematical modeling that allowed for the exploration of the idea, software development that automated the mathematical modeling, parametric studies that explored the performance of various sets of design parameters, and, finally an iterative engineering design process that converged at a final set of design parameters. Ultimately, a set of design parameters, from which a prototype may be constructed, were developed. | en |
