Abstract :
We describe a xenon-filled multi-wire proportional chamber (MWPC) with delay-line readout of coordinates for nuclear medicine applications. This system, with an active area of 30.5 × 30.5 cm2, is being used to image internally administered radioisotope distributions in animals for research purposes.
