Some of the factors that degrade spatial resolution in a continuous crystal detector design. The light output and response function reflect both light sampling and the statistics of the amount of light collected. Scatter in the detector and depth of interaction (and the resulting change in the light response function—LRF) generally lead to a loss of spatial resolution due to the changes in the LRF.
