1. A method for reconstructing a 3D distribution of a source of particles, the method comprising the steps of:

  • providing said source of particles, wherein said particles comprise beta particles, alpha particles, positrons, or conversion electrons;

    repeating, for each of a plurality of said particles from said source, the steps of;

    recording an image of a particle track with a particle track detector;

    determining attributes of said particle track using said particle track image; and

    storing said attributes of said particle track;

    thereby generating attributes for each of said plurality of particles from said source; and

    reconstructing said 3D distribution of said source of particles using said attributes for each of said plurality of particles.
