TLDR
In this article, the image contrast is experimentally demonstrated to be a particular function of various parameters including the area of the source divided by the central Fresnel zone, and the best fit parameters are reported.

CGA: A high resolution, high sensitivity, three-dimensional imaging system for nuclear medicine

TL;DR: In this paper, a new nuclear medicine imaging system using cylindrically-shaped coded apertures (CGA) and computerized image reconstruction is described, and the system's salient features are: (1) full three-dimensional image, (2) very large geometric acceptance, (3) 0.1 mm resolution independent of depth for reasonable design parameters, all photons, scattered as well as unscattered, are used, energy discrimination, although useful, is not needed, gamma rays of any energy can be utilized, and absolute amounts of activity can be determined very accurately.

Optically subtracted background in Fresnel zone-plate imaging

TL;DR: In this article, two techniques are described which remove this background by employing optical interference during the image reconstruction process, and the experimental results are presented for one of the techniques are compared to the other.

Fresnel zone plate imaging of gamma rays; theory

TL;DR: The general theory of coded-aperture imaging is presented, first for an arbitrary code and then for an on-axis zone plate, an off-axis Zone Plate, and a one-dimensional zone plate (or linear chirp).

Application of a Fresnel zone plate to gamma-ray imaging.

TL;DR: The fundamental principles of holography were first set forth by Gabor in 1948 and this technique has now been applied to imaging gamma-ray sources at the suggestion of Barrett.

Quantum noise in Fresnel zone plate imaging

TL;DR: It is shown that the largest SNR advantage occurs for a point source, while for very large, uniform sources there may be a slight net disadvantage to using a zone plate, and that optical processing does not give the highest possible SNR.

The use of half-tone screens in Fresnel zone plate imaging of incoherent sources

TL;DR: In this article, a half-tone screen was used to introduce a spatial carrier frequency and heterodyne the object spectrum into the passband of the zone plate, which greatly increased the usefulness of this system.
