In nuclear medicine, simultaneous PET and SPECT imaging can provide a more accurate diagnosis. However, it is difficult to integrate PET and SPECT system because their imaging principle is different. For multi-nuclide imaging, we developed a GAGG-SiPM based Compton-PET hybrid camera, which visualizes PET and SPECT nuclides by using the principle of PET and Compton imaging. For coming with TOF-PET imaging, we have developed a CeBr₃-SiPM based Compton-PET hybrid camera. In the presentation, we will report the basic performance of PET imaging and Compton imaging using 8×8 array CeBr₃ detectors.
