Abstract
In this thesis, we developed tools to model and simulate single gamma imaging modalities. These tools were subsequently used to simulate and optimize a design for Molecular Breast Tomosynthesis (MBT). The chapters in this thesis can be divided into two groups. The first group consists of Chapters 3 and 4 detailing technical topics concerning modelling and simulation of single gamma emitter imaging modalities, while the other chapters deal with MBT and its optimization. We will first discuss the chapters from the first group individually and then discuss the latter group.
