Several approaches to imaging hard X-rays emitted from solar flares have been proposed. These include the fixed modulation collimator, the rotating modulation collimator, the spiral fresnel zone pattern, and the redundantly coded aperture. These techniques are under consideration for use in the Solar Maximum '91 balloon program, the Japanese Solar-A satellite, the Controls, Astrophysics, and Structures Experiment in Space, and the Pinhole/Occulter Facility and are outlined and discussed in the context of preliminary results from numerical modeling and the requirements derived from current ideas as to the expected hard X-ray structures in the impulsive phase of solar flares. Preliminary indications are that all of the approaches are promising, but each has its own unique set of limitations.
