Abstract
Compton imaging is a promising technology for various applications including nuclear safety, nuclear medicine, and astrophysics. For quasi-point-source applications, which are widely found in practice, a novel Compton imaging algorithm incorporating the concept of self-adaption is proposed that provides excellent precision and high efficiency. In particular, this algorithm significantly improves the imaging precision of backward-scattering imaging events so that they can be revived for reconstruction without degrading image quality. From Monte Carlo simulations, a comparison between the self-adaption Compton imaging algorithm and the conventional Compton imaging algorithm was conducted, and the feasibility and reliability of this algorithm was verified in various scenarios.
