<p>Hello all,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am trying to do a nema study (spatial resolution) using Iodine - 131 (364 keV energy). <span style="font-size:12pt">I am using the</span><span style="font-size:12pt"> Siemens Symbia Intevo (SPECT) system specifications for the high energy collimator. </span></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I have modeled the HE collimator exactly as stated in the Siemens specifications. However, when performing the nema study, I do not get the 13.4 mm spatial resolution as stated in the collimator specifications. </p>
<p>I have fitted a Gaussian curve to the data I get from my simulation but the resolution I get is way worse than the desired one. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I have provided above my macro file and the collimator specifications for the system I am using. Any help or suggestions are welcomed.</p>
