It can be seen that the geometric distribution obtained makes it possible to easily identify the direction of the source of ionizing radiation 2A with respect to the detector of ionizing radiation 10 and therefore that the use of algorithm of the convolution product type is suitable for circular linear coded masks of the MURA type.
