  • Abstract
    The theoretical and experimental design of a proportional chamber gamma camera using the high-density drift space principle is outlined, for photon energies greater than 100 keV. Detection efficiencies of 50% or more are possible, using two converters, combined with a spatial resolution of 1 mm. Energy resolution is, however, poor. Experimental results of imaging are given.
