“…The Compton camera was proposed during 70's simultaneously for astronomical ( [1]) and nuclear medicine ( [2]) imaging applications. Several prototypes ([3], [4], [5], [6], [7]) have been built and exploited for the observation of cosmic γ sources, or for monitoring nuclear plants and waste with the development of hand-held γ-detectors boosted by the recent accident in Fukushima, Japan ( [8], [9], [10], [11], [12]). Although Compton cameras should have superior efficiency ( [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19]), imaging of γ sources in nuclear medicine is still carried out with collimator-based gamma cameras.…”
