Abstract

The detection of pure β-ray emitters deep within matter is made difficult by the short β particle range. This difficulty may be overcome by detecting the bremsstrahlung emitted from the source and its surrounding material. The principle of reconstructive emission tomography has been applied to the bremsstrahlung in order to form an image of a source of 32P within a water filled container. Some problems associated with the technique are briefly discussed.
