Abstract :
A high-resolution, high-efficiency, gas-filled, position-sensitive x-ray camera for diagnostic Nuclear Medicine will be described. The simple integral parallel hole collimator allows a spatial resolution of less than 1 mm. and holds down the front foil allowing the counter to be pressurized to greater than 10 atmospheres for high efficiency.
