Monte carlo simulation on breast cancer detection using wire mesh collimator gamma camera

This paper presents the preliminary results of the new Low Energy High Resolution wire-mesh collimator gamma camera in mapping breast cancer cells, by employing 140 keV photons of Technetium-99 m radionuclide tracer. The complete model of photons propagation and detection, as well as the human cells...
