Abstract
To optimize an image quality and/or a sensitivity, a Compton camera is adaptable. A scatter detector and/or a catcher detector may move closer to and/or further away from a patient and/or each other. This adaptation allows a balancing of the image quality and the sensitivity by altering the geometry.
