Simulations of Breast Cancer Imaging Using Gamma-Ray Stimulated Emission Computed Tomography

Here, we present an innovative imaging technology for breast cancer using gamma-ray stimulated spectroscopy based on the nuclear resonance fluorescence (NRF) technique. In NRF, a nucleus of a given isotope selectively absorbs gamma rays with energy exactly equal to one of its quantized energy states...
