Modeling Stochastic Processes in Gamma-Ray Imaging Detectors and Evaluation of a Multi-Anode PMT Scintillation Camera for Use with Maximum-Likelihood Estimation Methods

Maximum-likelihood estimation or other probabilistic estimation methods are underused in many areas of applied gamma-ray imaging, particularly in biomedicine. In this work, we show how to use our understanding of stochastic processes in a scintillation camera and their effect on signal formation to...
