Compton imaging is a nascent concept arising from the current development of high-sensitive energy detectors and based on the Compton effect, i.e. the scattering of a photon by an electron. Such detectors are able to collect incoming photons in terms of energy. It follows applications exploiting the scattering radiation to image the electron density of the studied medium. This presentation introduces potential 3D modalities in Compton imaging as well as the corresponding limited data issues.
