Description
A MultiWire Proportional Chamber (MWPC) is a poissonian, electronic, area detector and for this reason since its introduction it has received great attention for its possible application in the biomedical field. To be suitable for medical imaging a MWPC should satisfy the following stringent requirements: 1) good detection efficiency; 2) good spatial resolution; 3) high-rate capability. The authors describe a system which shows promise for biomedical imaging applications. (Auth.)
