heal.abstract	A small field of view gamma camera based on a Position Sensitive Photomultiplier Tube has been used for tomoscintigraphic imaging of breast phantoms. The breast phantoms consist of small hot quantities of Tc-99m placed in a plastic pot filled with a lower concentration Tc-99m solution. The volume of the hot quantities varied from 0.5 to 0.25 ml and the target to background activity ratio varied from 3:1 to 5:1. The impact of the acquisition time per projection and the number of projections on image quality has been investigated. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.	en
