Abstract
Imaging of radiation sources located in a subject is explored for medical applications. The approach involves using grazing-incidence optics to form images of the location of radiopharmaceuticals administered to a subject. The optics are 'true focusing' optics, meaning that they project a real and inverted image of the radiation source onto a detector possessing spatial and energy resolution.
