    Abstract: An intracorporeal-imaging head, is provided, which combines at least optical and radioactive-emission imaging, possibly also with high-resolution position tracking. The radioactive-emission-imaging probe has a wide-aperture, or coarse collimator, for high count-rate efficiency; nevertheless, the high-resolution position tracking ensures high resolution of the radioactive-emission image. Specifically, wide-aperture collimation-deconvolution algorithms are provided, for obtaining a high-efficiency, high resolution image of a radioactive-emission source, by scanning the radioactive-emission source with a probe of a wide-aperture collimator, and at the same time, monitoring the position of the radioactive-emission probe, at very fine time intervals, to obtain the equivalence of fine-aperture collimation. The blurring effect of the wide aperture is then corrected mathematically.
