摘要: The γ-ray imaging using coded aperture masks as focusing elements is an extended technique for static position sensitive detectors. Several transfer functions have been proposed to implement mathematically the set of holes in mask, uniformly redundant array collimator being most popular design. A considerable amount work has done improve digital methods deconvolve image, formed at detector plane, with this function. Here we present a study behavior these techniques when applied geometric shadows produced by point emitters. Comparison shape object reconstructed from that resulting analytical reconstruction performed, defining validity ranges usual algorithmic approximations reported literature. Finally, several improvements are discussed.
