New Class of Pseudo-Random Hexagonal Configurations for Coding Collimators of Ionizing Radiation

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

New ways of constructing two-dimensional hexagonal configurations based on pseudo-random and extended pseudo-random sequences are presented. The first method involves adding or subtracting elements of traditional hexagonal configuration. Pseudo-rectangular hexagonal configurations with hexagonal cells and their modifications were obtained. All configurations keep their periodicity and ability for mosaic construction allowing using them for creation of multi-pinhole coding collimators for registration of ionizing radiation.
