The present invention relates to a method for generating nuclear images for a nuclear-imaging device with continuous crystal detectors characterized by comprising:- detecting the interaction between gamma photons from a radioactive source and the continuous crystal, thereby determining the point of impact of each photon in a detector;- after determining the point of impact, generating a virtual pixel in each detector of the nuclear-imaging device around each impact position measured;- assigning each virtual impact to a line of response (LOR); and- producing a nuclear image based on the lines of response.
