Patent ID: 8565860

Claim:
A method of obtaining an image of a radioactivity emitting source in a patient's body comprising: scanning the radioactivity emitting source with a probe comprising at least one collimator defining a first angle from which the probe detects radiation events to obtain image data at a first resolution or less; monitoring one or more positions of said radioactive emission probe in different planes around said radioactivity emitting source; data processing said image data at a first resolution and said one or more positions, wherein said data processing comprises correcting blurring effects related to the direction from which radiation events are detected with the at least one collimator thereby generating similarity to detecting radiation events using a collimator with a second angle narrower than said first angle, said second angle obtaining image data at a second resolution, higher than said first resolution; and forming a three-dimensional model of said radioactivity emitting source by said data processing, wherein said three-dimensional model is in said second resolution.
