A multiwire proportional gamma camera for imaging 99Tcm radionuclide distributions
Abstract
A gamma camera made of multiple multiwire proportional chambers with thin converter foils has been evaluated for clinical application. Results are presented from a small prototype (10 cm x 10 cm)showing good imaging of 99Tcm radionuclide distributions and comfirming the predictions of the theory regarding quantum efficiency and spatial resolution. The technique is especially aimed at creating a gamma camera with an active area greater than or …
