Abstract

Method for producing a reconstruction image, the reconstruction image showing a position of irradiating sources in an environment, the reconstruction image being established on the basis of gamma images acquired by a gamma camera, which is sensitive to ionizing electromagnetic radiation, and movable relative to at least one irradiating source between two different measurement times, the gamma camera being joined to a visible camera, which is configured to form a visible image of the environment, the gamma camera and the visible camera defining an observation field, the method comprising establishing a reconstruction image, showing a position of at least one irradiation source in the observation field, the gamma camera and the visible camera being moved between at least two measurement times.
