Figure 1: Model explaining the energy resolution. The top left image shows the spectrum of nuclide A, and the bottom left image shows the spectrum of nuclide B. When nuclide A and B are both present, the spectrum looks like the top right image. Imagers with limited energy resolution detect nuclides A and B as a low plateau with two small peaks, but an imaginer with improved energy resolution can detect individual A and B spectra.
