The software for portable systems for obtaining γ image with coding apertures (masks) is described. The software developed controls all systems that form an image and obtain shadow patterns, reconstructs the initial γ-image, and processes previously obtained images. The software is used with portable systems in which URA and MURA type masks with different rank are used as the coding aperture. Programs for modeling the process of obtaining shadow patterns using real apparatus which has different positionsensitive detectors are described. Possible configurations of new apparatus which could be of practical interest are examined.
