Whole gamma imaging (WGI) is a new nuclear medicine imaging method that combines PET and Compton imaging. By inserting a scattering detector ring inside a PET detector ring, two different imaging methods are realized in one system. In this report, we compared the Compton imaging performance of the 3^rd WGI prototype (WGI-3) and the 4^th WGI prototype (WGI-4) by Monte Carol simulation.
