Abstract

A miniature γ probe for nuclear medicine based on a LaBr3:Ce scintillation crystal and a silicon photomultiplier is described. The γ ray detection efficiency is 29% for 137Cs (662 keV) and 70% for 57Co (122 keV). The spatial resolution and selectivity measured with a tungsten collimator for 57Co are 8 mm and 26°, respectively.
