Abstract
The pin-hole collimator is used to improve spatial resolution and magn ify areas of interest, The pin-hole collimator has many applications i n small animal veterinary scintigraphy, The principles of image format ion for the pin-hole and parallel hole collimators are reviewed, The e ffects of distance on resolution and sensitivity are presented for the pin-hole and parallel hole collimators. Specific application of the p in-hole collimator in veterinary scintigraphy are discussed.
